This is a wonderful trail system that goes through the city and is very easy to walk so you can stroll easily and enjoy the flora and fauna. It is beautiful and well maintained. Unfortunately, due to time we could take the entire trail.

Come Out and Play at Marble Mountain Resort! We're known for our diverse ski and snowboard terrain, abundance of snow, short lift lines, and great events. This is the highest mountain peak you can ski in Atlantic Canada, and still the most unspoiled. Enjoy a diverse array of on-site accommodations and easy access to a vast snowmobile / ATV trail network. When it's not snowing, enjoy our 9 zip-line tour over the roaring Steady Brook Falls or take in an event in our majestic base lodge. "

Marble mountain is highly sought after in the winter; and I look forward to returning this January! The summer scene is beautiful with Mountains, Waterfalls and trails. I enjoyed running each morning around the area and was able to hike the zip lining course as well. This would be a great place to take your kids in the summer with the climbing structure onsite at one of the lodges. Very friendly people in this area, helpful and great staff onsite at the lodge.

Unfortunately, the exhibit was closed when we visited, but we were able to look at the trains. My friends had never seen narrow-gauge railroad before so this was fascinating, particularly since they noticed the difference quite quickly. It was a good look at the old railroad, which no longer operates in the the province of Newfoundland.
6. Corner Brook Caves

Our adventure in the caves was only equaled by climbing Gros Morne mountain. We packed our caving helmets (lights are required) with the intent of exploring the caves. Finding it was a little challenging. The entrance is directly off of the TCH West (Trans Canada Highway) a little way past Confederation Dr. Look for yellow Hydro gates and a dirt road off to the right. Park outside the orange gates. The cave entrances are down the road to the right. The first entrance called 'the wet entrance' is not far off the road. The second 'tight squeeze' and third 'upright' was through a path in the woods, off to the right of the pipeline. Don't confuse a large opening that narrows sharply with water rushing as the second entrance. The path is a little farther along and it heads off into the woods, not down into a gully. The upright entrance gives you the best opportunity to explore. However, when we were there, you couldn't explore too far without getting wet. The level of water changes, so prepare. I know guides are recommended for those who are unfamiliar with these caves. I can understand this. Some areas are difficult, and you need to take note of landmarks if exploring alone. Be safe and enjoy!

So, you are in Corner Brook, and know that you have to be at the ferry at a certain time, but you have a couple of hours to kill, what do you do? You can drive up to the Captain Cook park, but there's nothing there but a lookout. Now what? You've done your laundry at Just April Fresh, and you want to work up an appetite for dinner.
What you do is go to the Corner Brook Museum and Archives, if you can find it. Here's a tip: park behind City Hall, and there is an elevator inside to take. You to the museum. If you are lucky, there will be a summer intern to take you around and show you the highlights and answer questions.
We were there for over an hour (it is small, but contains many memories). There you will find everything from the story of Captain Cook's mapping of the coast to a copy of a letter from a German taken prisoner at the outbreak of WW I, because he had the misfortune to be caught there fishing. The story of his stay in Newfoundland, and subsequent return to Germany is only one of the fascinating things you will learn about the island and its people.
The people of Corner Brook can be proud of such a museum.

52ft high totem pole with over 56 carvings depicting the history of Newfoundland from Vikings to present day. It's carved from a cedar tree from British Colombia believed to be over 350 years old.
There are no signs to it, but it's on the corner of the road to Marble Mountain and is near to Steadybrook Falls so worth a quick stop on the way to either. You can also picnic here
