Questions people actually ask
How far is the drive between Twillingate and Lewisporte?＋
91.7 km on Routes 340 and 341. It measures the same in both directions.
Why would I drive this rather than going back through Gander?＋
Going back through Gander adds about 85 km. Twillingate to Gander airport is 114 km, and Gander to Lewisporte another 63 km: 177 km against 92 km going direct. The airport is not on the way between these two places.
What is the road like?＋
Two-lane highway. The causeway country at the Twillingate end has water on both sides and is the best of it. The longer inland stretch toward Lewisporte is ordinary highway through bog and spruce. The causeways are exposed, which matters in bad weather.
Should I stay in Twillingate or Lewisporte?＋
It depends on what you are doing next. The where-to-base-yourself guide, under Guides, measures both options against the main draws.
