Worth stopping for

Gander Heritage Trails

On the way to…

  1. YQX → Gander town →

    Back toward the runways, not on the way into town. The town says these trails cover Gander's original 1930s to 1950s townsite in the former airport sectors. The ruins of the old town site are on the same ground.

    Stopping here adds about 3.6 km to that drive (3.7 km door to door).
