You arrive by ferry — North Sydney, Nova Scotia to Port aux Basques
Port aux Basques is the island's year-round ferry terminal, and everyone who comes through it has their own car already ashore.
Operated by Marine Atlantic. The drive below starts where the boat lands.
Crossings & current schedule →Then a ferry to Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon
The boat at Fortune sails to France: Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, about forty-two kilometres offshore as the crow flies. It is an international crossing, so bring a passport. Check the operator for sailings and fares; the season matters.
Operated by SPM Ferries.
Current schedule →Faded lines are other drives from Port aux Basques ferry terminal into this area: Harbour Breton (680 km). Each splits off where its line leaves this one.
Stop 1: Indian River
A green space mapped essentially on the driven line. OpenStreetMap records it as a nature reserve but not who runs it, and it is not on ParksNL's list. Treat it as a place to pull over, not somewhere with facilities.
Stopping here adds 0.1 km to the drive.

A reconstructed 1920s logging camp on the west side of Grand Falls-Windsor, mapped right beside the driven line. Central Newfoundland ran on the woods for a century, and the museum shows that work.
Stopping here adds 4.6 km to the drive.

A pond-side stop beside the Trans-Canada. OpenStreetMap still uses its old provincial-park name; the province no longer lists it. A place to stretch your legs.

A mapped viewpoint on the Trans-Canada east of Gander, effectively on the road. OpenStreetMap records only the name and that it is a viewpoint. It is easy to miss at highway speed.
