What you will see along the way:
The Humber River, lending its name to the picturesque Humber Valley, is a vital waterway steeped in history on Newfoundland's west coast. Known for its vibrant fishing and logging industries, this river once carried cut logs downstream to the paper mill in Corner Brook, crucial in the region's industrial past. Rich in Atlantic salmon, the river has been a significant waterway since the 1800s, attracting European trappers.

Today, the Humber River remains a symbol of the natural and cultural heritage of Newfoundland.
