Gros Morne is an area of great natural beauty with a rich variety of scenery, wildlife, and recreational activities. Visitors can hike through wild, uninhabited mountains and camp by the sea. Boat tours bring visitors under the towering cliffs of a freshwater fjord carved out by glaciers.

Waterfalls, marine inlets, sea stacks, sandy beaches, and colourful nearby fishing villages complete the phenomenal natural and cultural surroundings of Gros Morne National Park of Canada.

The Western Brook Pond tour is a 2.5 hour na cruise, (English and French) between massive billion-year-old cliffs. Ponds atop the plateau feed waterfalls that cascade into the park's largest lake. A moderate 3 km trail leads from parking lot to dock.

Trout River Ponds - The most accessible of the fjord lakes within Gros Morne National Park and is probably the safest place for kayaking in the park. On the north shore there are great views of the barren and an intriguing landscape of the Tablelands. To the south are the contrasting steep cliffs and the forested Gregory Plateau. The outer pond has frequent landings on both sides, while the inner pond has frequent landings on the north and east sides.
