Clode Sound is a deep, fjord-like saltwater inlet on the Bonavista Bay coast within Terra Nova National Park in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is characterized by a complex coastline of sheltered coves, inlets, and headlands where the boreal forest meets the North Atlantic. The sound is accessible by paddlers. The town of Charlottetown, located on Clode Sound, serves as a potential access point, and the Clode Sound Motel is situated directly on its shores, offering a base for visitors. Port Blandford also sits on the sound at the park's southern edge. Paddling here offers views of a rugged, glacially-carved landscape with exposed bedrock and thin soils. The Ochre Hill Trail provides a breathtaking lookout over Bread Cove and Clode Sound, offering paddlers a notable land-based vantage point of the area they can explore. The overall experience is defined by the opportunity for coastal exploration among icebergs, typically from April to June, and whale watching from June to October. The waters of the nearby Newman Sound are sheltered, which may also apply to parts of Clode Sound, making them suitable for kayaking. The region is ecologically rich, with opportunities to spot seabirds, whales, bald eagles, and ospreys. Terra Nova National Park requires an entry fee for access, and paddlers should consult park authorities for any specific regulations regarding watercraft.
