Salmonier Nature Park
A provincial wildlife rehabilitation centre where, along wooden boardwalks, you can see moose, caribou, lynx, bald eagles and other native Newfoundland animals.
The park is operated by the provincial government and is free to enter. Its roughly 3 km of wooden boardwalks wind through native forest and wetlands. Along the way, large enclosures display injured or non-releasable native animals such as moose, caribou, Arctic fox, lynx and snowy owls. It is a great place near the city to see Newfoundland's wildlife up close. About 80 km from St. John's, it requires a car to reach, and it is closed in winter.
Opening hours
About June–October, 10:00–17:00
