RouteXpert Review The first stop is at Fallsview Municipal Park (RP2). This park is centrally located, making it the perfect base from which to explore all that central Newfoundland and Labrador has to offer should you wish to plan a little longer in this area. Fallsview Municipal Park offers a scenic location with direct access to some of the best salmon fishing spots in central Newfoundland.
We cross the Exploits River and continue on the NL-1 through the beautiful green and hilly landscape of Newfoundland. This area also has many small lakes. The panoramas are beautiful but the road is fairly straight and therefore not very challenging.
The next stop is planned in the picture Gander where we visit the North Atlantic Aviation Museum (RP7). This museum contains 4 sections; the first section describes the construction of Gander International Airport and Gander's involvement in World War II. The second section deals with international and transatlantic civilian travel. The third section tells about Eastern Provincial Airways and international flights from Eastern Bloc countries, the Soviet Union and Cuba. Finally, the fourth section showing Gander's participation during 9/11, in this tragic attack, more than 6,700 passengers were diverted to Gander International Airport at the time. A steel beam from the World Trade Center is also on permanent display in the museum.
We continue towards Gambo and stop briefly at Joey's Lookout (RP8). From this vantage point you have a beautiful view of the Gambo River and Freshwater Bay, an ideal place to stop for a photo and enjoy the scenery.
The next stop is in Glovertown where you can visit the Ken Diamond Memorial Park (RP11) and go for a walk. This park is home to hiking trails that surround the Southwest Steady, an area of wetlands that is home to many waterfowl and plants. The park was established to preserve the stable's natural habitat and provide Glovertown residents and visitors with opportunities for low-impact recreation. Features include interpretive signage and rest areas for visitors to enjoy.
We continue the journey on NL-310 (Road to the Beaches) a beautiful provincial road that follows the coastline of the bays. After approximately 13 kilometers, it reconnects with the Trans Canada Highway which we follow to Muddy Brook, where we leave the TCH and take the Main Street to NL-233 and NL-234, which wind along the coast to Lethbridge. Here we turn onto NL-230 to drive via Georges Brook to the terminus in Clarenville. In this last part you can still enjoy the varied panorama.
I rate this route with 4 **** Stars because of the beautiful roads, varied landscape and sights along the route to visit.

Newfoundland and Labrador
About this region
Newfoundland and Labrador (; sometimes abbreviated as NL) is the easternmost province of Canada, in the country's Atlantic region. It is composed of the island of Newfoundland and the continental region of Labrador to the northwest, with a combined area of 405,212 square kilometres (156,500 sq mi). In 2018, the province's population was estimated at 525,073. About 94% of the province's population lives on the island of Newfoundland (and its neighbouring smaller islands), of whom more than half live on the Avalon Peninsula.
The province is Canada's most linguistically homogeneous, with 97.0% of residents reporting English (Newfoundland English) as their mother tongue in the 2016 census. Historically, Newfoundland was also home to unique varieties of French and Irish, as well as the extinct Beothuk language. In Labrador, the indigenous languages Innu-aimun and Inuktitut are also spoken.
Newfoundland and Labrador's capital and largest city, St. John's, is Canada's 20th-largest census metropolitan area and is home to almost 40 per cent of the province's population. St. John's is the seat of government, home to the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador and to the highest court in the jurisdiction, the Newfoundland and Labrador Court of Appeal.
Formerly a colony and then a dominion of the United Kingdom, Newfoundland gave up its independence in 1933, following significant economic distress caused by the Great Depression and the aftermath of Newfoundland's participation in World War I. It became the tenth and final province to enter Confederation on March 31, 1949, as "Newfoundland". On December 6, 2001, an amendment was made to the Constitution of Canada to change the province's name to Newfoundland and Labrador.

Route Collections in this region Trans Canada Highway
The Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) or Trans-Canadian Highway is a system of highways that cover all 10 provinces of Canada.
The Federal and Provincial Highways System that now forms the TCH were authorized by the Trans-Canada Highway Act of 1948 and opened in 1962. It was completed in 1971. The total length of the TCH is 7821 km.
Contrary to the American Interstate Highway System, the TCH does not consist of an unambiguous network of motorways, but forms a network of restricted access highways and other main routes that are more akin to the Dutch provincial roads. The route is indicated by a green shield with a white maple leaf.
The numbering of the roads that are part of the TCH is the domain of the provinces. Only the western provinces have aligned their numbering and the TCH has the designation Highway 1 there.
The main route of the TCH starts in Victoria in British Columbia and runs via Calgary and Regina to Winnipeg. From Winnipeg the route leads to Kenora in Ontario, after which several branches pass through Ontario to Ottawa.
Further east, the route passes through the province of Quebec via Montreal and Quebec, among others, to Moncton, New Brunswick. Then the TCH continues east through Nova Scotia, where a branch (via the Confederation Bridge) leads to Prince Edward Island. Another section runs down to the sea in the port city of Sydney, where a ferry service leaves for Channel-Port aux Basques on the island of Newfoundland. From there the route continues for more than 900 km to the provincial capital of St. John's, in the extreme southeast of the island.
We not only drive the TCH, but will take the rural roads as much as possible, because only Highway driving is too boring and Canada has many beautiful roads through its beautiful landscape. You drive through all provinces and through very varied and scenic landscapes, from the Rockies in the West, the Central Prairies to the Eastern Maritimes and the Northern Forest.
The riding season is generally April through October with longer seasons on the west coast and southern Ontario. Provide good all season clothing or bring rain gear, depending on the province and the season the weather can change and you may be surprised by a rain or even a snow or hail shower, so be prepared.
In Canada the metric system is used, so speeds are indicated in Km / h. A helmet requirement (DOT approved) applies throughout Canada.
You will see many wildlife throughout Canada. This varies from province to province, such as deer, buffalos, moose, caribou, wolves, pumas, bears, mountain goats, sheep, lynx, coyotes, foxes, raccoons, badgers, various rodents and all kinds of birds. Even if it is very tempting to stop for a photo, don't do it, it can be very dangerous.
The routes described in this review sometimes deviate from the Trans Canada Highway, bringing the total length to 9,300 kilometers. The routes are made so that you drive through the beautiful parts of Canada with truly beautiful panoramas and beautiful sights to visit, this differs from museums, parks to historical points. The routes are not too long so there is time to stop for photos and sights along the way. You can also choose to arrange and combine the stages differently or to add other routes to shorten or extend your journey. The routes are marked with a rating in stars, some routes are less challenging or interesting but are necessary to drive to the next point, which is why they often have a lower rating.
In the route description you will find more details about the routes and the points of interest along the way. These points and also hotels, restaurants, petrol stations etc. are indicated with a POI and sometimes also with a Route point. In the description you will also find links to interesting sites and to the routes that connect to that day.
