GORGE PARK

Take a walk down the magnificent Gorge Park and take in the dramatic view of the majestic Exploits River and the imposing and unusual rock formation. This references back to a time when the river was travelled and fished by the aboriginal Beothuks of our land . The park is easily accessible; located through access roads from Scott Avenue. This lovely natural paradise consists of a scenic walking trail along the banks of the Exploits River which features numerous picnic and lookout areas, a boat launch for water enthusiasts, a pier walk, and an adventure playground for children. This park has something to offer everyone.

GRAND FALLS GOLF CLUB

In 1905 construction began on the paper mill and town of Grand Falls. The Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company, as part of the development, cleared land for farming at the intersection of the Exploits River and Rushy Pond Brook. In 1924 some local enthusiasts started a golf course with six holes on the site of the former farm. It shortly became a nine hole facility and remained so until 2004 when nine holes on the opposite side of Rushy Pond Brook were officially opened.
