Worth stopping for

Salmonier Nature Park

On the way to…

  1. YYT → Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve →

    Run by the province's wildlife division, a little further along the Salmonier Line. It opened to the public in 1978 — established as an environmental education centre rather than a tourist destination, in its own account, and grown into one since. The animals live in large natural enclosures along a boardwalk trail, among them the Newfoundland marten, for which staff built a captive-breeding enclosure while it was designated endangered. The province's wildlife rehabilitation program is coordinated from here, and most of the animals on display arrived injured and unreleasable. Its visiting times are the park's to state, not this page's.

    Stopping here adds about 1 min and 0.1 km to that drive (2h 47m door to door).
