Worth stopping for

Lockston Path Provincial Park

On the way to…

  1. YQX → Cape Bonavista →

    The peninsula's ParksNL campground, just off Route 236 near Port Rexton — the campground on this route, and the natural overnight for anyone doing the cape properly instead of at a run. Season and sites are ParksNL's.

    Stopping here adds about 12 min and 0.7 km to that drive (3h 45m door to door).

When it is open

“The Lockston Path campground opens 15 May 2026 and closes 14 September 2026 for the 2026 camping season. All dates are subject to change, depending on weather conditions.”

What the map knows

Mapped as nature reserve in OpenStreetMap.

While you're stopped here: Green Family Forge (8 km away) · Trinity Museum (8.2 km away) · Fort Point viewpoint (9.1 km away)

The map last touched this element on 2011-09-26 — 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/1446469958 → — the same element every figure on this page is checked against.
