About Us

The Burin Peninsula Trailway consists of 160 Kilometers of  multi-use trail that travels almost a complete

circle around the Burin Peninsula, on Newfoundland's South Coast.   There are trail heads at several

communities along Route 210, including Parkers's Cove and Boat Harbour, the closest to the Trans Canada

 Highway, on the Placentia Bay side. Garnish, on Route 213 is the other end, and the only trail head

on the Fortune Bay side of the Peninsula.  See the Maps link at right for more details..

Used primarily by ATV and snowmobiles, cross country skiers and hikers will also find

the Burin Peninsula Trailway a remarkable adventure.

Mission Statement

We aim to create a trail system that will provide a scenic and safe place for trail users from far and wide to enjoy the fresh air of the Burin Peninsula.  We intend for our trailway to attract tourist to our area of Newfoundland to stimulate the local tourist trade and to give visitors an experience they will want to repeat.

 

The Burin Peninsula Trailway was created by the hard work and funding from members of local Trail Associations.   Major funding to link trails came from the National Trails Coalition (NTC) disbursing funds from the Federal Government Economic Stimulus Program detailed in the 2009 Budget.

And by the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Dept. of  Inovation, Trade and Rural Development (INTRD) Sean Skinner, Minister

Managed by the Burin Peninsula Trailways Board Inc.
