I’ve put together a list of walking/hiking trails and lookouts on the Great Northern Peninsula from Bellburns and all communities to the North. I’ll be linking these with posts with images and more information on each trail as I am able to update.

If there is a trail I’ve missed, please let me know and I’ll make an update. The Great Northern Peninsula, north of Gros Morne National Park and the gateway to Labrador offers visitors and residents hundreds of kilometres of trails and very unique experiences. There is beauty around every corner and so much to experience and explore when on a nature walk, hiking trail or a look-out.

Currently, NL remains closed to non-essential travel. A person requires an exemption to enter and must have a valid reason. However, the Chief Medical Officer will continue to update the public on rules of entry. NL currently has 5 active Covid-19 cases and has not surpassed 400 cases total throughout the pandemic. We have been very fortunate.
