Free-flow estimate, Deer Lake Airport (YDF) to King's Point — no stops, dry roads.Source: OSRM driving profile, terminal door to town centre, checked 2026-08-30.
King’s Point sits on Green Bay, an hour and three quarters from Deer Lake, and it is the closest thing this region has to a genuine toss-up between the two airports — 57 minutes separates them, where everywhere else the gap is an hour and a half or more.
What brings people out here is the Alexander Murray trail, which climbs behind the community and is the best known on this coast. The drive is a spur off the Trans-Canada rather than somewhere you pass through, so it is a decision rather than a detour.

Questions people actually ask
How long is the drive from Deer Lake Airport to King's Point?＋
About 1 hour 45 minutes, covering 132.7 km — east on the Trans-Canada, then out along Routes 390 and 391 to Green Bay. That is a free-flow estimate on dry roads with no stops.
Should I fly into Deer Lake or Gander for King's Point?＋
Deer Lake, but this is the narrowest margin on the site: 1 hour 45 from Deer Lake against 2 hours 42 from Gander, a difference of 57 minutes. Everywhere else in this region the answer is decided by an hour and a half or more. If you are combining King's Point with something on the Gander side, do the arithmetic rather than assuming.
What is there?＋
The Alexander Murray Hiking Trail, which is the best-known trail on this coast and the usual reason people turn off for King's Point. It is a substantial climb rather than a walk — treat it as a half-day and ask locally about conditions. We can tell you what it costs to get here, not whether the trail is in shape on the day.
Is it near Baie Verte?＋
Not as near as the map suggests. King's Point is on Green Bay and Baie Verte is over on the next peninsula, so they are a separate turn off the Trans-Canada from each other rather than two stops on one road. Doing both in a day is 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.
