Worth stopping for

Thomas Howe Demonstration Forest

On the way to…

  1. YQX → Terra Nova →

    A demonstration forest with walking trails on the Gander side, early in the drive, though the access road makes it more of a commitment than its distance from the highway suggests.

    Stopping here adds about 17 min and 2.8 km to that drive (1h 3m 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.

What the map knows

Mapped as nature reserve in OpenStreetMap.

While you're stopped here: Silent Witnesses Memorial (1.5 km away) · Gander Old Town Site (3.3 km away) · North Atlantic Aviation Museum (4.2 km away)

The map last touched this element on 2026-09-04 — 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 way/1070023288 → — the same element every figure on this page is checked against.
