Reviews of Gros Morne National Park Of Canada (Park)

T T

This park is massive! quiet and breath taking! It is too bad we only stayed here one night. We got to hike the Tableland trail which was quite nice to see the new mountains. Will definitely want to come back and stay longer.

Took a ride up Trout River Pond by pleasure boat. Absolutely breathtaking. The reddish brown mountains are The Tablelands in GrosMorne National Park. If you can get a local to take you up this Pond I would most definitely recommend it!

Shane Patelakis

Beautiful hiking and views

Dave Williams

What a magnificent place to visit, a place of great geological history and a fantastic photo op! The restaurant at the boat launch is quite refreshing after your walk from the parking lot. While in Newfoundland you can not miss this extraordinary natural site!

Nathan Denne

National park is great. Only had time to hike the Gros Mourne mountain trail and the view was amazing. You could see far and wide but it is a long hike up there. Many other hikes around.

Kate Isgreat

What an amazing place to explore and get away. The West coast of Newfoundland is absolutely gorgeous - as someone once told me "Gros Morne makes Frank Sinatra look like a hobo in a suit" …

Bruce Stearman

Beautiful scenery, interesting hikes, helpful staff. Well worth the trip.

Nik Crawford

We did the Northern Rim and Long Range traverses in 2016. Including the hike up Gros Morne and a day trip to the Tablelands. The park itself is beautiful; the view down Western Brook Pond is incredible. I wish we'd have thought to take the boat tour as well for a different perspective of it. The park staff are wonderful people, very safety oriented, and exceptionally knowledgeable. The day use areas are well maintained and organized. If you happen to be on this side of Newfoundland, you should most certainly stop into the park.

This park is a must see if you are in the east coast of Canada. I will never forget the summer fog in the early morning when we arrived in Newfoundland. Lots of exploring and view points to discover. I highly recommended booking a yurt for a memorable and relaxing experience

Bryan Vanderkruk

What an amazing place to visit. Even though we had rain and the remnants of a hurricane fly through while we were there, it was 3 days of staring in awe at the beauty of this earth. The unique geological features in the park, the many historical sites to visit and the well maintained hiking trails are just a few of the reasons to come to this park.

Canada is known for national parks. This Gros Morne is one of our treasures. So much to do for all different levels of activists: walking, hiking, kayaking, boat tours, etc. Definitely take a boat tour. Just prepare yourself for a long walk to board the boat though.

Beautiful! Definitely worth the trip. The hike to the summit was difficult but the hike back down was absolutely brutal! Bring 3 litre of water for sure whether you think you'll need it or not as you never know if your companions might. Also, take a lunch AND snacks to keep you going on the trail. It's honestly more of a climb than a hike. I wondered why there weren't photos after the summit and figured that out for myself. By the time you reach the summit, you're too exhausted to care to take photos! Bring bug spray!

Lindsey Ross

Excellent time here. The trails we did were well marked and maintained. Our campsite (Green Point) was a favorite. The staff here were impeccable and the facilities are renovated and lovely. Beautiful ocean views from the site. Only downside to the whole thing was getting to the visitor info at 7:50 and being told they were already closed. We turned off the main drag after seeing their sign saying "Open til 8". The girl working was less than polite / annoyed at us needing a map.

Probably the most amazing place we have ever brought our children. It couldn't have been better. The facilities were out of this world, I've never seen nicer at a camp site. All of the towns were quaint and lovely. The swimming pool and aquarium are Lifesavers on rain days. And the hikes were easily some of the coolest we've done. A trip we will never forget!

Leona Zhou

Really really nice national park. We almost went to all trails in the park but the ones closed due to flood damage.it has two parts. The part along the trout river generally has lake and mountain view. The best part is it has very very pure water and it's tap water tastes like spring water. Please fill up all of your container before you go to the side of the ocean views. The little town there has lots of cottages and all have a great view. BUT it's tap water is a bit yellow and it had a bit strange smells when you boil it. I don't dare to use such water and bought several gallons of pure water from the general store and it is very expensive. Anyway we had a very good time in the park and we did a lot of good hikings.

Last June during our 3 month tour of Canada we said goodbye to the beautiful St. John's and drove 7 hours across Newfoundland in a driving rain and fog to Deer Lake. Today we drove north, parked our car and hiked in over an hour (for some 2+ hours, check the map and make sure you have the proper hiking attire and are dressed appropriately) to catch our boat tour of the magnificent landlocked fjord. There were low hanging clouds and steady light rain. The top of the fjord mountains were sheared off by glaciers. The views were humbling to realize we are all grains of sand in the whole scheme of things. It will all be here long after we've returned to dust. The face of the Tin Man etched on a cliff. Moose tracks and wild berry bushes as far as the eye can see. Things starting to come alive. This was one of the days for the memory book. One of the world's cleanest lakes untouched by man. This has to be one of the world's most beautiful National Parks. Everyone should have this on their bucket list. Just do it! Kindly click the like button if this review or my photos are useful.

Ann Shivas

A very beautiful hiking place. There is a rocky climb. Hikers must be in decent shape to get up that section. We were lucky and saw some moose.

Rebekah Wheadon

Absolutely staggering views! There are many places to explore, although speak with guides at the discovery centre before venturing forth on to trails. Some have inconsistent information about elevation and difficulty. A Parks Canada employee is your best bet!

Andrew Carriere

One of my favourite parts of NL, a must do If you are on the west coast of NL. A very beautiful park with lots of fun trails.

Danika Couture-Peck

One of the most majestic national park I’va ever visited. Clearly a must if you visit Newfoundland. In 2 days and a half we visited the Tablelands, Lobster Cove, Broom Point, Green Point, we climbed the Gros-Morne and we did the boat tour …

Judy Hung

We had a blast here at the Gros Morne National Park! We started the day with Tablelands & Trout River, so unique! Did the Western Brook Pond hike/boat tour; breathtaking views (make sure you book the boat tour online and have cash with you; 65$ per person for 2-hours knowledgeable and entertaining boat tour). The fishing museum/houses at Broom Point is quite interesting as well. At Green Point, there’s 6km of coastal trail. We also had a blast at Lobster cove lighthouse, saw an arctic hare there! Just driving in the mountains is a blast!!

mark hickey

Amazing experience, breathtaking views and scenery. You must make a trip out even if you're not from newfoundland, its very obvious why its a unesco world heritage site!!! The table lands are like nothing ive ever seen before, and the hiking and walking in the park is world class for sure!! If youre adventurous they have multi day hikes as well and gros morne mountain is extraordinary!!!

Natalia Ourban

Place of serene beauty, interesting geological formations and enjoyable drive on a well maintained roads. Be sure to take Fjord boat tour, you will see some amazing views. Stayed for a week in a nearby city and loved every day of it.

Mr Lofty

Fabulous fjordland boat trip to see waterfalls a few hundred metres high, well worth the 40 minute walk, but wrap up warm regardless of the season. Great staff with some amazing skills on the spoons.!

David Webster

I've seen spectacular sights all over the world, but Gros Morne National Park is one of my favorite places on the planet. The scenery here is simply stunning. I've been here a few times, and the sights still take my breath away. Amenities include nice, well equipped campsites, helpful, knowledgeable staff, informative visitor centers and hiking trails appropriate for people of every level of physical fitness. To get the most out of your visit, I recommend taking part in as many guided hikes as you can -- Parks Canada guides offer a wealth of knowledge, and can often get you to spots that you might not have thought of going to on your own. There are a couple of guided Tablelands hikes that are especially interesting. The hike up Gros Morne mountain offers particularly spectacular views, if you're up for a challenging day hike on rugged terrain. If you want something a little more down to earth, the Western Brook Pond trail is very flat and easy to walk on, and it offers amazing views of a land-locked fjord unique to this park. While you're there, the boat tour of Western Brook pond is well worth the price. A must for any Canadian nature-lover's bucket list.

This is a bucket list destination! 20 Hiking trails from easy to challenging against a variety of landscapes and weather patterns - a week won't be enough to see and experience everything. The park is huge so plan your activities accordingly e.g. the north end of the park past Cow Head is over 120 kms. away from the tablelands in the south. Tiny towns are nestled within the park too and are filled with friendly folks that are passionate about where they live and work. A must see!

Davis D. Janowski

One of the most beautiful places in the world. As an American who traveled to several of our nation's most popular national parks when a child in the 1970s and now laments how crowded and over-used and stressed many are it was simply astounding to spend a week at Gros Morne in 2012. Even at the height of Canadian tourist season it was empty when compared to any of the most popular US national parks. And the landscape is spectacular. From the Tablelands to Western Brook Pond the landscape can seem otherworldly---literally---the Tablelands are a World Heritage site and one of the few places on Earth that the mantle rises to the planet's surface. The Tablelands more resemble Mars, with its reddish tinted rocks and soil than what you would expect of a lush green North Atlantic province (and a drive down the main highway distinctly shows the contrast, green on one side as far as the eye can see and red on the other). Western Brook Pond is simply otherworldly as well. A beautiful wooded, then boggy set of landscapes unfold before you during the multi-kilometer hike to the pond's shore, where tour boats take you into this very remote fjord now closed to the sea. Towering cliffs surround you with abundant waterfalls descending every few hundred meters, with thick forest covering any land not too steep for them. At the eastern end a floating dock beckons the backpacker who has pre-registered to hike out the 38 miles through a seemingly impossible gorge trail. These are a mere few highlights. The people of Western Newfoundland are warm and welcoming and there is good lodging to be had as well as plenty of hiking, camping, and wilderness backpacking opportunities. This all describes the brief warm months. Winter here is evidently an entirely different matter.

Eden Zhang

Gros Morne is just beautiful. With limitless hiking options and tons more, you can never run out of things to do. The Table lands are a must see, with a landscape reminiscent of Mars. You might even see moose on the side of the road! Rocky Harbour is a great place to stay, with many local restaurants and cottages.

Lawrence Chan

Beautiful park. Very well kept. Definitely make sure you have proper hiking shoes for hiking the mountain. Doesn't take full 8 hours if you keep a steady pace!

Andrea Burton

Beautiful! The views are stunning, highways are good inside the park. We found a cheap campsite in the park ($20 tent camping, full services ????). The hiking was awesome. The only catch was we had a hard time finding a restaurant with a sea food planter to share.

Shelsea Saint-Fleur

WOW, JUST WOW! This national park is way nicer than we expected!! There are tons of hikes to do, and each view is impressive! You have all kinds of hikes to do, from easy ones to tough ones! If you do some long ones, make sure you have enough water and snacks! Even if you don't like hiking, the views from the road and camping are worth the detour! It's a must-see!

Joanna Zycki

Absolutely amazing!! Amazing landscape, hikes (for all levels), camping, and art scene. Cool towns and small diners/pubs. Would go back again for sure!! I even noticed that some of the trails are wheelchair accessible.

Bryan Swift

absolutely stunning! giant cliffs...just a shame you must pay $250 for a guided day hike, not allowed to go solo

Karen “kokopelli” Haehn

I’m from St. John’s but it’s took me 54yrs to visit Gros Morne! Don’t wait another year you too must visit - a beautiful and scenic park with hikes for every level! So much to see and do ! Take your time and enjoy it all .,

Amanda M

The beauty will absolutely take your breath away! Pictures do not do it justice. There's so much to do, it would take multiple trips to see it all.

Ravi Canada

Nature at its best. Beautiful drives and trails. Fjords view are scattered and need to travel a bit to cover all of them. Travelled during Sep when fall colors were not yet changed. Had an amazing trip #2020

Nikita Regular

Amazing and beautiful and worth every hurting muscle today lol the views are stunning!!! We did the summit.

Wandering Minstrel

Amazing scenery with lots of hiking trails for the amatuer or the seasoned veteran. The boat tours are great and fairly inexpensive and there's a lot of great places to eat.

Eva Wong

There are wonderful sceneries everywhere in the park! Camping sites are beautiful and lots of trails are available for hiking!

Mr. W

Awesome national park. You can spend weeks in there. Great place to spend time.

A. T.

Lots of trails of different lengths to choose from. Dissapointed by the lack of access to the most iconic spot in the park which is now accessible with private tour guide for an extremely high cost.

ZHU DI

So amazing, wonderful hiking experience, did it about 7hours. Pretty hard to get down because of lots of sharp rocks. But worth it.

Ashley Conn

Many things to see! We hiked Gros Morne Summit. Be prepared for a 6-7 hour hike if you're hiking Gros Morne Summit. I'm not a trained hiker and rarely even do cardio workouts, so this was challenging for me but I woukd do it again. The views are worth it.

Dean Decker

This place is absolutely magical. The scenery and people are second to none. From the pristine ocean beaches to deep glacier carved bays there is something for everyone.

kelvin tan

Beautiful park. Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 days we spent there. Highlights include the Tablelands Trail (go for the 10am guided tour) and stopping at random lookout points.

Eric Fernandes

Awe inspiring landscapes and amazing hikes, well worth the trek. Canadian rugged and natural beauty at its finest!

Jonathan Drew

Amazing place. Check out everything you can. If you love nature don't be afraid of coming off high season. Try to connect with local guides and businesses. Remember to take your time.

Xuan Hu

So beautiful, instantly moved to the top of my list of favourite place on earth

sharon mercer

If your looking for tranquility, breathtaking beauty and small town charm, this is the place for you to visit. If your looking for hiking, kayaking and adventure this is the place for the other you. So much to see and do here. Oh and don't forget to check out the fjords and the tablelands. You won't be disappointed, bring your camera your gonna need it.

Cameron Campbell

One of my favourite places in the world! This park is amazing, but you've got to out of the car and off the main road to …
