Trout
River
Located on the southern edge of
Gros Morne National Park, the quaint fishing
village known as Trout River has a population of
less than 700. Though fishing is now only a
fraction of what it has already been, you can
still witness the daily bustle of activity at the
Fishermen's Wharf.
I found a special atmosphere at
Trout River. At least there was on this cloudy
and windy day. I linger a bit, but all too soon
need to start heading back.
I understand the economic
realities that dictate the development of
tourism. And yet, as I sit peacefully on the
boardwalk, I can only be thankful that this area
has yet to be discovered by the hoards of tourist
buses.
