The Resource
Tuckamore Lodge is located in the center of a vast region of exceptional natural beauty. There are long stretches of sandy beach, rocky headlands |
![]() |
| that rise to Incredible heights, and tiny outport communities tucked away in sheltered coves. The countryside teems with wildlife. Majestic moose, herds of caribou, and huge black bears roam the area in great numbers. The rivers and streams are home to the Atlantic Salmon, and the lakes and ponds are filled with trout from pan size to record size. |
|
Southwest Pond, home to Tuckamore, is also home to several Bald Eagles, Loons and other birds of interest. Moose are plentiful and visit shores of the pond almost daily. A quiet evening walk will take you past a beaver lodge or gentle river steady. For the photographer, Main Brook is a life time dream. Deep fjords cut into the rugged East Coast providing |

shelter for the villages of with the ancient names of Harbour Deep and
Hooping Harbour. This isolation has caused time, in many ways, to stand still, preserving these special places and a lifestyle unknown in the modern world.

Migratory seabirds abound in the coastlines of the nearby ecological reserve. Common Eiders, Quillmonts, Comorants, Terns, Ospreys and Puffins sweep overhead dazzle observer.

Activities Apart from hunting and fishing, there are some fascinating sights in our area. Each summer great icebergs - white ice ships - glide into Hare Bay, reminders that the Canadian Arctic isn't all that far away. The Grey Islands host Newfoundland's important woodland caribou nursery - a herd of more than 500 animals - as well as large colonies of Eiderducks, Puffin and Seals. The important Viking settlement of L'Anse aux-Meadows is north of Main Brook at St. Anthony. which is also the site of the famous Grenfell Medical Mission. The vast high country, across the smooth granite left by the Wisconsin ice sheet 10,000 years ago, is a mass of streams and ponds and lakes scattered across the tundra, unlike anything you will ever see anywhere else. Deep fjords cut into the peninsula at such colorful places as Harbour Deep, tiny communities reached only by boat or plane. |
