Corner Brook Hiking Adventure

OVERVIEW

A wonderful outdoor adventure, this tour features two leisurely walks through the nearby woods, where views include a cascading waterfall, meandering stream, and open parkland. The first trail follows the Corner Brook Stream, which flows into the bay. Along the way, look for warbling songbirds, wildflowers blanketing the forest floor and clusters of ripe berries in the bushes. At the end of that trail, you will be shuttled to the Glynmill Inn Trail, much of which also runs parallel to Corner Brook Stream and Glynmill Inn Pond. Mill workers originally constructed the pond as a dam to supply power to the city’s paper industry. It now serves as one of Corner Brook’s most popular recreation areas because of its scenic beauty. Built in 1923, the historic Glynmill Inn overlooks the pond and swans frequently congregate here. Following your second hike, you will stop for a tasty treat made with Newfoundland berries.
