About

Terra Nova National Park offers accessible inland paddling through a scenic system of interconnected ponds and lakes in eastern Newfoundland, suitable for families and intermediate paddlers. The route through Sandy Pond to Dunphy's Pond, Pitts Pond, and Terra Nova Lake provides 2-3 days of mixed paddling with minimal portaging and established camping facilities. The landscape features boreal forest scenery with excellent wildlife viewing (moose, birds), and the park infrastructure provides rental services and visitor amenities. Best paddled May-September; noted as a gentler alternative to more remote wilderness rivers.
