About
On the west coast, just 20 kilometres from Stephenville, you will find one of the largest provincial parks in western Newfoundland: Barachois Pond. This lovely park features a fabulous hiking trail and two spectacular beaches for swimming. And when you've toweled off, there's lots more to experience. Located in the Western Newfoundland Forest ecoregion, this 3000 hectare park is characterized by beautiful balsam fir with a forest floor of ferns and mosses. A score of wildlife and bird species along with mountain streams, invigorating hikes and panoramic views make this one of the most popular parks in the province to visit!
89 nightly campsites on the reservation service, plus 61 leased by the week or for the season. 20 overflow sites are issued at the park once the campground is full.
