RouteXpert Review
Day 31 we drive completely on the Trans Canada Highway from Corner Brook to Grand Falls. The majority is a four-lane road, but some parts are also a two-lane road and quieter and more beautiful to drive. You drive through the beautiful mountainous and green Newfoundland, so you will see many forests, mountains, but also rivers and lakes that shine in the beautiful green landscape. There is possibility to stop in some places to take a picture.
There are no sights to stop on the way. This ride is pure driving through a beautiful landscape with a number of beautiful sights to visit at the end point in Grand Falls.
Just before we arrive at the hotel we can visit the Mary March Regional Museum at RP11. Explore the scope of central Newfoundland's rich and exciting history from ancient indigenous cultures, including the Beothuk, to industrial development in the 20th century. Special exhibitions and programs are presented throughout the season.
Near the hotel across the Exploits River is the Salmonid Interpretation Center. This salmon improvement project is the largest of its kind in North America, marked by a world-class interpretation center. The center has exhibits on the history, biology, ecology and habitat of the Atlantic salmon. Visitors can view the King of Fish through underwater windows as it travels upstream to the spawing habitat, taking in views of the falls and nesting gulls.
I rate this route with 3 *** Stars because of the beautiful nature and the museum and the Salmonid Interpretation Center.
