by Frances Stanford on May 7, 2009 in Newfoundland

The Baccalieu Trail starts on the Trans Canada Highway in two locations. Driving from St. John’s you can take Veterans’ Memorial Highway, which is about 20 minutes outside of St. John’s or if you are driving from the west, you take this scenic trail just past the exit to the Argentia – North Sydney Ferry. You can make the round trip in one day, but most visitors to the area like to take two or three days in which they can enjoy what this area of the province has to offer. You can also take Route 60, 70, 75 and 80 enabling you to drive through the communities of Conception and Trinity Bays.
