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 →Faded lines are other drives from Port aux Basques ferry terminal into this area: New-Wes-Valley (688 km), Dover (642 km), Burnside ferry terminal (664 km), Salvage (667 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.
