🏕 Walking trails Newfoundland is all about nature and there are so many beautiful trails in cities and outside. Here is a few links about how to find them: St. John’s and around (Mount Pearl, Paradise, Torbay, CBS) - Grand Concourse - Mapping – Grand Concourse Authority They also have an app and maps there seem to me being better than one on the website. My favourite walks are Rennies River and Virginia River to the lake. East Coast Trail - 336 km of developed trails from Topsail beach to Cappahayden going along coastline, breathtakingly beautiful: East Coast Trail T-Railway - Trans Canada Trail - going through the whole island starting at St.John’s (behind Railway Museum).
