Worth stopping for

Western Brook Pond trailhead

On the way to…

  1. YDF → Cow Head →

    The mapped trailhead for the walk in to Gros Morne's most photographed water — the landlocked fjord whose gorge is on half the province's postcards. The walk and the boat tour beyond it are Parks Canada's and the operator's to describe; the parking is right off the highway.

    Stopping here adds about 1 min and 0.2 km to that drive (1h 36m door to door).

  2. YDF → L'Anse aux Meadows →

    The mapped trailhead for the walk in to Gros Morne's most photographed water — the landlocked fjord whose gorge is on half the province's postcards. The walk and the boat tour beyond it are Parks Canada's and the operator's to describe; the parking is right off the highway.

    Stopping here adds about 1 min and 0.2 km to that drive (5h 51m 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

While you're stopped here: SS Ethie wreck site (2.5 km away) · Shallow Bay beach (17.9 km away) · Gros Morne Visitor Information Centre (23.9 km away)

The map last touched this element on 2025-10-24 — 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/191045101 → — the same element every figure on this page is checked against.
