Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism, which names the drive, gives about 482 km. Driving back to Goobies from Frenchman's Cove on Routes 213 and 210 adds 169.2 km, which brings the two close.
Where does it start, and which way should I drive it?＋
The province starts it at Goobies, where Route 210 leaves the Trans-Canada, and ends it at Frenchman's Cove. It says the drive can be taken in reverse, and the distance is the same either way.
Can I go to Saint-Pierre from here?＋
