As its name suggests, the Blow-Me-Down Mountain Trail crosses the Blow Me Down Mountains west of Corner Brook. This backcountry trail rises to a height of 600m (1970ft) at Blow Me Down Head where it provides a wide-angle panoramic view of the beautiful Bay of Islands from the picturesque fishing community of Lark Harbour to the west, North Arm Hills and outer islands to the north, and the Humber Arm and city of Corner Brook to the east. To the west hikers can also catch a glimpse of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and if lucky, be rewarded with a spectacular sunset over the water.

City advice
Book before you go
The Maritime Atlantic Ferry
If travelling by car to Newfoundland you will want to book your ferry crossing in good time. The cabins provide an elevated comfort with the ability to sleep overnight and enjoy a shower in your own private bathroom but the main reserved seats are also comfy if the cabins are booked.
