So yeah it's a National park and don't get me wrong, it's really beautiful too.. but I still can't give it a 5 and rate it the same as a Banff or Jasper or even many other national parks.. it's just not in the same league unfortunately. I spent an entire day here.. completed many trails and most of the viewpoints, included some snaps with my review as well. To be more critical, I felt like it lacked a bit of variety in what it has to offer - but despite that, every single trail was extremely well maintained as it should be for a national park. In conclusion, although the park was very nice and I had a great time, I would probably not visit again.
Great place to bring the kids! The touch tank is always filled with sea creatures they can learn about and handle. Off the dock you can see lobsters, fish etc. Nice view from the patio.
One of the lesser-known national parks in Canada, Terra Nova is very quaint, with many well-maintained trails and camping sites. Realistically, if you want to fully experience the park, you'd have to camp for several days. Unfortunately when we came in late May, we only had a single day (and it was pouring rain) so we just did a short hike. I would recommend visitors begin their visit at the Visitor Center, where people can get advice from the park staff and also pay for the park passes.
One of my favorite trails is Mill Cove Lookout Trail, it is only 1.5 km return(30 minutes) Level : Moderate. You have to climb the stairs for the best views. It costs $6,50 to access the park. But I highly recommend you to buy a Discovery Pass so you could visit all National Park for one year unlimited. It is a lovely National park! ❤️
Such a lovely national park. The ochre trail is probably now one of my top 3 favorite hikes. It was foggy, quiet, and filled with lichen and moss, which added a nice color. The park office is also very modern with hands-on activities, such as the ability to touch some of the marine life found in the park. It is a shame this park isn't as well known as some of the ones back in the states, but on a personal level, that unknown seclusion certainly made us feel like we were on the road less traveled.
