Springfest

The Humber Valley is a study in contrasts. Fishers and loggers. Resettlement and prosperity. Travelers driving into Corner Brook via Route 1 are dazzled by the panoramic view – the majestic Blow-Me-Down Mountains, snow-capped until mid-July; and the sparkling fijord-like Bay of Islands.

In this region, salmon jump jagged rocks to reach their spawning grounds; waterfalls plunge over mountains, smashing onto the rocks below. This is a destination for the outdoor enthusiasts. The best way to see this region is to walk, hike or bike. Maybe a cave tour might be on your list of things to do? There are many parks equipped with municipal playgrounds and walking trails.
