Worth stopping for

Gros Morne Visitor Information Centre

On the way to…

  1. YDF → Gros Morne (Rocky Harbour) →

    Parks Canada's visitor centre, on Route 430 a few kilometres before Rocky Harbour. The place to sort out park entry and ask what is actually open and passable that week.

    Stopping here adds about 2 min and 0.8 km to that drive (55 min door to door).

  2. YDF → Cow Head →

    The park's front door, under an hour in — this drive spends most of its length inside Gros Morne, and the centre is where the park explains itself.

    Stopping here adds about 2 min and 0.8 km to that drive (1h 36m door to door).

  3. YDF → Roddickton →

    The park's front door, under an hour in — this drive spends its first stretch inside Gros Morne, and the centre is where the park explains itself.

    Stopping here adds about 2 min and 0.8 km to that drive (4h 37m door to door).

  4. YDF → L'Anse aux Meadows →

    The park's own front door, less than an hour in — Route 430 runs straight through Gros Morne on its way north, so the UNESCO park is not a detour on this drive, it is the first act of it.

    Stopping here adds about 2 min and 0.8 km to that drive (5h 51m door to door).

What the map knows

Mapped as museum in OpenStreetMap.

Its own site (from the OSM element) →

While you're stopped here: Discovery Centre (9.7 km away) · SS Ethie wreck site (22.4 km away) · Western Brook Pond trailhead (23.9 km away)

The map last touched this element on 2026-07-28 — an old date is not proof of closure, only of nobody updating the map; if you know better, edit OpenStreetMap and every site built on it learns.

All of it read from the cited element and this site's own measured stops (2026-09-05); nothing above is our endorsement — it is the map's record.

Where this pin comes from: OpenStreetMap node/475756548 → — the same element every figure on this page is checked against.
