Central Newfoundland is a place of rich culture and friendly people. The town of King’s Point, set on a inlet about 90 minutes northwest of Deer Lake, typifies this sentiment. Stop by King’s Point Pottery and the Whale Pavilion before tackling the Alexander Murray Trail. This well-maintained path wanders up 2,200 wooden stairs—plus a worthy one-kilometre side trip to Corner Brook Falls—to the 305-metre-high Haypook Summit. Enjoy a vista atop the sprawling expanse of boreal forest and the North Atlantic beyond before continuing downslope along this this loop-trail and back to the parking lot. (Hit the trail on a Sunday, and you may even find a place to chow a post-hike Jiggs Dinner.)
