Bay du Nord River, Newfoundland
Out of the Tuckamoor
Designated 2006

The pure waters of the Bay du Nord River dance a Newfoundland jig across one of the largest wilderness areas of Newfoundland. The river sweeps adventurous paddlers past barrenlands where curious caribou mark their passing, through innumerable whitewater “rattles” and quiet “steadies” where countless brook trout, ouananiche (land-locked salmon) and Atlantic salmon wait, on down to the picturesque outport of Pool's Cove at the river's mouth. Moose, pitcher plants, orchids, the moist air of the deep boreal forest and the savory aroma of heatland flora – Newfoundland wilderness.
