Western Brook Pond Access Area
Western Brook Pond Access Area
The Western Brook Pond Access Area is the trailhead and parking area serving Western Brook Pond, a landlocked freshwater fjord within Gros Morne National Park on Newfoundland's west coast.
From here, a 3-km trail crosses the coastal lowland — winding through bogs and forested ridges — to reach the pond's dock, a walk of roughly 45 minutes.
The access area is the starting point for both the popular boat tour, which cruises the glacier-carved fjord past billion-year-old cliffs and waterfalls cascading more than 600 metres, and guided hiking and backcountry routes into the Long Range Mountains.
The trail between the parking area and the dock is considered moderate and has historically served as a nature walk in its own right, offering views across the lowland toward the mountains.
