Terra Nova National Park
You can explore 154 square miles of dense boreal forest through hiking, biking, and running trails at Terra Nova National Park. Be on the lookout for local wildlife that includes moose, black bears, lynxes, and beavers. For a different vantage point, kayak or canoe through sheltered inlets on the Atlantic Coast, which might lead to sightings of humpback whales, harp seals, and orcas.
Middle Brook Swimming Hole
Located right in the middle of town, this natural swimming hole is the perfect place to cool down on a summer day. Even though the pool is just feet from the town hall, it feels much more secluded in the middle of a peaceful, wooded area. A small cascade surrounded by shady pinnes pumps crystal-clear water into the small pool.
Port Blandford Heritage Sites
The Port Blandford Heritage Society has installed informative storyboards at seven heritage sites throughout the town. You can learn about the first church in the area, and the important role that speeders (transport vehicles that run along railway tracks) played for local industry. A replica 19th-century sawmill illustrates the days when lumber was a significant part of the Port Blandford economy.
