“This is a really delightful stop and hike.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 7, 2011

The Salmonier Nature Park rehabilitates animals that are native to this area. They have a hike which is mostly (all!) boardwalk and you can go through and, hopefully, see many animals.

“Nice little park”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 25, 2009
3
people found this review helpful

This is a nice little park. It is not far off the Trans Canada Highway. It is free and features some more or less common species of birds and mammals on the island. It has bathrooms, but not very many other amenities. The walk is on the usual wooden walkways they have all around NFLD. We went to see the... More
