132.7 km. Deer Lake airport to King’s Point on Green Bay: the Trans-Canada, then Routes 390 and 391.
Deer Lake, but only just. Gander is 74 km further.
Why people come. The Alexander Murray trail, which climbs behind the community. Some summers icebergs come right into the bay (CBC filmed one rolling over in 2015, and came back in 2024 for a berg near Brighton and humpbacks off King’s Point the same week); check Iceberg Finder the week you land.

The trails
Renting a car? Book the car when you book the flight.
Summer rentals sell out, says NL Tourism, and in June 2026 CTV reported St. John's airport agencies booked for nearly all of summer.
Both read 2026-10-07.
Arriving without a car
Not renting? Here's who Deer Lake Regional Airport lists at the door. Fares change, so we link to them instead.
No rideshare here.
The airport's ground-transportation page lists no rideshare service, only three taxi firms, a shuttle and seven charter operators (checked 2026-09-15).
Taxi
Star Taxi, which the airport calls its primary ground transportation provider, serving the whole region with wheelchair-accessible vans and accommodating service dogs. The airport advises contacting them 24 to 48 hours before you arrive.
Taxi
Deer Lake Taxi, listed as operating around the clock across the province with no pre-booking required.
Shuttle
Star Taxi runs a shuttle between Corner Brook and the airport, serving named hotels, with a private-car option. It must be booked ahead. The airport publishes the fares.
Coach
DRL Coachlines' once-a-day coach each way between St. John's and Port aux Basques stops in Deer Lake town (the Circle K), not at the airport terminal. It reaches no island and no national park. Tickets are bought on the bus, cash only. Times and fares are DRL's: drl-lr.com.

The drive back
Measured the other way, King's Point back to Deer Lake is the same distance: 133 km.
Plan back from your check-in time. Give the planner your flight time and it tells you when to set off.

Questions people actually ask
How far is the drive from Deer Lake Regional Airport to King's Point?＋
132.7 km: east on the Trans-Canada, then Routes 390 and 391 to Green Bay.
Should I fly into Deer Lake or Gander for King's Point?＋
Deer Lake, by 74 km: 133 km from Deer Lake against 207 km from Gander. If you are pairing King's Point with something on the Gander side, compare both drives.
What is there?＋
The Alexander Murray Hiking Trail, the best-known trail on this coast and the usual reason people come. It is a real climb, not a walk. Allow a half-day and ask locally about trail conditions.
Is it near Baie Verte?＋
Not as near as the map suggests. King's Point is on Green Bay and Baie Verte is on the next peninsula, each its own turn off the Trans-Canada. Doing both in a day means most of the day driving.
Do I need a rental car?＋
Yes. This is 132 km to a small community at the end of a spur road, with no scheduled service.
