Fitzgerald's Pond Provincial Park Reserve

On the way to…

  1. YYT → Placentia →

    A Provincial Park Reserve beside Route 100, effectively on the driven line. ParksNL classes reserves as former camping parks whose campground was privatised before 1997, with the rest kept to protect natural features, and says plainly that reserves have no visitor services. ParksNL describes this one as protecting a population of a rare lichen — Erioderma pedicellatum, the boreal felt lichen — in the Maritime Barrens, Southeastern Barrens subregion, and notes that the privately owned Fitzgerald's Pond Park next door is a separate thing from the reserve. Treat the reserve as a quiet pull-off, not a stop with facilities.

    Stopping here adds about 0 min and 0 km to that drive (1h 43m door to door).

Drive it with your own nav:Organic Maps →OsmAnd →Apple →Google →Waze →The first two run on OpenStreetMap and don't track you — the same map this site is built from.
