Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve

4.6(10 reviews)

About

Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve in Newfoundland lies along NL-10 at Portugal Cove South, NL A0A 1S0, Canada, and its fossil-bearing coastal rocks are the reason it exists. Further detail is published at https://mistakenpoint.ca/.

A 4.6 out of 5 average across 10 reviews reflects the impression the reserve leaves on those who make the trip. Nearby places such as St John's, Corner Brook, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor, Twillingate, Bonavista, Trinity and Gros Morne sit across the island, so a visit here fits into a wider Newfoundland itinerary rather than a quick stop.

First-time visitors should expect a coastal setting where the weather shifts quickly and the ground is rough underfoot.

English is the main language across Newfoundland, which makes navigation and enquiries simple for most travellers. Canadian islands range from temperate rainforest on the Pacific coast to Arctic tundra in the north, and this stretch of coast sits firmly in the cooler, wetter end of that range.
