This beautiful walking/bike trail is a wonderful way to see the town on foot or by bicycle. The trail starts on the lower end of Hamilton River Road in Happy Valley and extends to the Industrial Park on the Canadian Side, with part of the trail leading to 5 Wing Goose Bay. One segment of the trail passes through a lovely forest where nature can be viewed at its best. Benches along the trail provide rest areas.

Muskrat Falls is a 15+m waterfall on the Lower Churchill River, and is accessible mainly by vehicle, with a short hike over rugged terrain to the actual Falls. View the Falls in its beautiful natural surroundings, explore the forests, mountains and lakes and enjoy the area's flora and fauna. Insect repellant, a camera, a lunch and hiking boots are a must. As a historic note, there are claims that in 1944 a German submarine was beached near the base of Muskrat Falls, after the crew decided to withdraw from the war! A tour can be arranged through Labrador Scenic Ltd. (709)497-8326, Churchill River Boat Tours (709)896-0936 or Break Away Adventures (709)896-9343.

Location of Falls: Approximately 30 km west of Goose Bay on the Trans Labrador Highway.

Birch Brook Hiking Trails maintain over 20 km of unexcavated true cross-country trails, providing access to a variety of wilderness areas with undisturbed flora and fauna. Many of these trails are chipped with wood for hiking in the summer. In the winter, they are used as cross country ski trails. Markers are erected at sites of particular interest. A chalet, which is equipped with picnic tables, a wood stove, barbecues, and a sauna, is available to trail users. This chalet is unattended, but is always unlocked to welcome adventurers.

Location: 20 minute drive from Goose Bay on the North West River Road.
