Faded lines are other drives from Deer Lake Regional into this area: Hermitage-Sandyville (410 km), Fortune (682 km), St. Alban's (368 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.
