Stanleyville Trail

In the heart of Gros Morne National Park lies the Stanleyville Trail, a historical path leading to the shores of Paynes Cove and the abandoned community of Stanleyville. Once a bustling logging town in the early 1900s, Stanleyville now stands deserted for over 80 years, offering a glimpse into its past with remnants of old machinery and garden plants scattered along the trail.

Starting at the Lomond campground, this 4-km return hike takes you through second-growth forests and past a present-day cutting area, providing a moderate 1-2 hour trek with an elevation gain of 220 meters. The trail offers a serene journey, climbing over a ridge before descending to the tranquil cove at Stanleyville, inviting hikers to explore the bygone era of this once vibrant settlement.
