Great Canadian Parks
Newfoundland & Labrador
'seek ye first the
kingdom of God'.
Newfoundland is an island, inhabited
and modern, making up one part of Canada's eastern coast
province; Labrador, on the mainland, remains a sparsely
populated wilderness. The national parks are in Newfoundland,
as Labrador, relatively untouched by man's disturbances,
requires less ecological protection. Mountains, forests,
rivers, lakes, small towns and the rugged coast provides
tourists with a range of recreational and adventure
activities including camping, hiking, fishing and whale-watching.
