The East Arm is the northern fjord arm of Bonne Bay, located within Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of Newfoundland. It is a glacially carved saltwater fjord characterized by steep, forested slopes and mountain vistas, including views of Killdevil Mountain. The primary and most developed launch point for paddlers is the Lomond Campground, which offers a public boat launch and a dock directly on the East Arm, providing convenient water access for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. This campground also serves as a base with facilities including washrooms, showers, and walk-in campsites near the water. Another noted access area is Norris Cove, near the community of Norris Point, which is used as a starting point for loop trips. Guided commercial tours, which often use tandem sea kayaks and include one-way boat shuttles, operate from Norris Point and are available from mid-June through September, though they are subject to cancellation due to unsuitable weather conditions. The East Arm is known for challenging paddling conditions when weather deteriorates, with wind exposure being a significant factor. The fjord's fetch can generate choppy water, and paddlers should be prepared for these more demanding sea states. Wildlife sightings can include minke whales, bald eagles, Arctic and common terns, while the underwater environment features lush kelp beds, sea stars, and sea urchins. A recommended day trip route is a loop from Lomond Cove to the abandoned settlement of Stanleyville (also called Paynes Cove) and back, passing landmarks like Beachy Point. Another described loop launches from Norris Cove, proceeding to Gadd’s Harbour, Shag Cliff, Stores Cove, and Reid Point before returning. The paddling season for independent trips aligns with the campground season, generally from late May to late September.
