Worth stopping for

Upper Falls Lookout

On the way to…

  1. YQX → Leading Tickles →

    A viewpoint mapped beside the Trans-Canada at the Norris Arm junction, where Route 351 runs north into the town. This is not yet the turn for Leading Tickles — that is 23.1 km further west, where the Botwood Highway leaves the Trans-Canada near Bishop's Falls. Two more lookouts are mapped beside this one. The name is all OpenStreetMap offers; what it overlooks, nobody we could find has published.

    Stopping here adds about 3 min and 2 km to that drive (2h 10m door to door).

  2. YQX → Triton →

    A viewpoint mapped directly on this route, a little under a third of the way from Gander toward Triton — beside the Trans-Canada at the Norris Arm junction, where Route 351 drops north. Somewhere to pull off and stretch: the turn north for Robert's Arm and Route 380 is still 123 km of driving away. Two more lookouts are mapped beside it; what the name refers to, no publisher we could find says.

    Stopping here adds about 3 min and 2 km to that drive (3h 3m door to door).

  3. YQX → St. Alban's →

    A viewpoint mapped beside the Trans-Canada at the Norris Arm junction, facing north. The Bay d'Espoir Highway turn near Bishop's Falls, where Route 360 leaves the highway and runs south, is 21.9 km ahead. OpenStreetMap maps two more lookouts within half a kilometre of this one, and none of the three has a publisher we could find behind its name.

    Stopping here adds about 3 min and 2 km to that drive (3h 27m door to door).

  4. YQX → Hermitage →

    One of three viewpoints mapped together beside the Trans-Canada at the Norris Arm junction. The Bay d'Espoir Highway turn at Bishop's Falls is 21.9 km further along, so this comes while the drive is still easy. OpenStreetMap gives the name, the position and a northward direction and nothing else, and no publisher we could find accounts for the name, so this page claims no view it has not checked.

    Stopping here adds about 3 min and 2 km to that drive (4h 4m door to door).

  5. YQX → Harbour Breton →

    A viewpoint mapped beside the Trans-Canada at the Norris Arm junction, facing north, with two more lookouts mapped within half a kilometre of it. The Bay d'Espoir Highway turn at Bishop's Falls is another 21.9 km along the road, so this is the last easy stop before Route 360 commits to the interior. What the name refers to we could not find published anywhere; the pin, the position and the direction are all OpenStreetMap gives.

    Stopping here adds about 3 min and 2 km to that drive (4h 9m door to door).

What the map knows

Mapped as viewpoint in OpenStreetMap.

While you're stopped here: Notre Dame Provincial Park (7.9 km away) · Woolfrey's Pond Lookout (15.9 km away) · Mike Austin Arena (18.1 km away)

The map last touched this element on 2022-04-03 — 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/9634212573 → — the same element every figure on this page is checked against.
