General presentation
Gros Morne National Park
Fjords, land mantle plateaus and glacial mountains make up a world heritage landscape.
To understand what Gros Morne National Park is, you need to look at Western Brook Pond, Tablelands and Gros Morne Mountain. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, coastline, forests and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 9 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Western Brook Pond
Western Brook Pond looks like an interior fjord, framed by high rock walls that glaciers have carved into the plateau of Gros Morne. The approach on foot crosses peatlands and moors, then the boat trip reveals fine waterfalls, vertical cliffs and dark water caught in a mineral silence.
Place indismissible
Tablelands
The Tablelands form one of the most strange landscapes of Gros Morne: orange hills, almost bare, from rocks of the earth's mantle. The walk gives the impression of leaving Newfoundland for a stony desert, with very little vegetation and striking contrasts with the surrounding green mountains.
Nature and panorama
Gros Morne Mountain
Gros Morne Mountain overlooks the interior of the park with its wind-beating moors and its open views of Newfoundland's fjords, ponds and plateaus. Ascension takes a real day and attracts especially walkers ready to win their panorama at the price of a steep and exposed trail.
Culture and heritage
Green Gardens Trail
Green Gardens Trail descends from the volcanic heights towards a softer coast, where grassy cliffs fall into the Atlantic. The contrast between the dark rocks, coastal pastures and the coves beaten by the waves gives this hike a very different atmosphere from the nearby Tablelands.
