Gros Morne National Park

Gros Morne is on the west coast of Newfoundland (Canada), in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It sits along the Gulf of St. Lawrence and stretches around scenic areas like Bonne Bay.

Deer Lake Airport (YDF) is our closest airport. It is about a 45 minute drive from Deer Lake to Rocky Harbour. St. John’s Airport (YYT) is on the east coast of Newfoundland, an approximately 7-8 hour drive from Rocky Harbour.

The Marine Atlantic Ferry which lands in Port Aux Basques is about 370–390 km (230–240 miles) from Rocky Harbour, depending on your exact route. Driving time is approximately 4.5 to 5 hours. Most people drive Route 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) to Deer Lake, then take Route 430 north to Rocky Harbour. Route 430 is also known as the Viking Trail and runs along Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula. Gros Morne sits right along this route, making it one of the biggest highlights on the drive.

It’s a popular to stop on the way to:

L’Anse aux Meadows (the famous UNESCO Viking site at the northern tip)

St. Barbe ferry to Labrador
