Featured Trail - Clarenville to Terra Nova to Kepenkeck Lake
Featured Trail - Clarenville to Terra Nova to Kepenkeck Lake
In this video we travel the approximately 110 km route from Clarenville to Terra Nova village and then up through the Terra Nova River valley to Kepenkeck lake. Here we see evidence of the area's rich logging history. The Terra Nova River valley stretches some 140 km from river mouth in Glovertown to its headwaters in the heart of the Middle Ridge Wildlife Reserve. It includes some big, uniquely named lakes like Nanedock Lake, Dog Pond, Kepenkeck Lake, Lake St. John, Mollyguajeck Lake, and Terra Nova Lake.
This waterway provided a natural highway for early central Newfoundland logging and pulp milling operations. The Town of Terra Nova was the most easterly Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company logging division, and the logging division farthest from Grand Falls.
Terra Nova started life as a sawmilling community. A sawmill was first established there in 1894. It was only later that wood was harvested for paper making. Wood was cut and boomed on Mollyguajeck Lake, Lake Kippenkek, John’s Pond, and Lake St. John. =
By 1960 the A.N.D Company also had a sawmill set up at Lake St. John and that mill went on to become the first operational plant for what is now Sexton’s Lumber Company.
In the mid 1960’s Pulp wood operations had ceased and the area was focused solely on sawmilling - much of which ended in the 1970’s.
You can still clearly see the traces of the past in Terra Nova Town and up through the Valley. Today’s trip will explore some of that.

Featured Trail - Clarenville to Sabena Crash Site
On September 17, 1946, a Sabena Airlines Douglas DC-4 took off from Shannon Ireland en route to New Your via Gander, Newfoundland. The plane was carrying 44 people.
In the early morning hours of September 18th, the plane's approach to Gander was hampered by fog and drizzle. Disoriented, the plane's crew flew low, hitting the forest and crashing 35 km south of Gander.
27 people were killed in the crash while 16 passengers and one crew member survived. It took several days to find the crash site and several more days to rescue the survivors. The dead were buried at the site - now known as St. Martin's in the Woods.
Come along for a ride from Clarenville to the Sabena Crash site - 135km from Clarenville.
