Steve's Trail

Steve’s Trail, a part of the Broom Point Fishing Premises in Gros Morne National Park, is on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The entrance for Broom Point is off Route 430 between Western Brook Pond and St. Pauls.

Steve’s Trail is simply named after the local guy who used this path to get down to his fishing premises. It starts at the main parking lot for Broom Point and cuts through the forest to reach the beach on the south side of Broom Point. As you are going through the forest you will see through the tree openings on your right a small cemetery in a clearing down by the beach. The path is very easy to navigate and opens up to a meadow that you cross to reach the top of the ridge. From here a set of stairs take you down to the beach area.

From the ridge you can see the mouth where Western Brook Pond empties into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It has created a large sandbar that protects the original exit. Other neat features are the rocks here, where you can see further examples of the geological formations that you see at Green Point. Low tide will give you the best views of these formations. The vantage point from the ridge also lets you see the Long Range Mountains that are a defining feature of Gros Morne National Park.

Along the top of the ridge you can walk along towards the right. Unfortunately you can not continue along here to finally reach Broom Point. We tried that, the path petered out.
