뉴펀들랜드와 래브라도 최고의 라이딩 경로

Rennies River runs through the east side of St. John’s, flowing from the higher ground around Pippy Park down toward Quidi Vidi Lake. Along this section, it’s a narrow, steady-moving river bordered by trees, with a mix of shaded and more open stretches. You’ll cross it several times on footbridges as the trail follows alongside. The name comes from early landowner James Rennie, who owned property in this area in the nineteenth century. It’s not a dramatic river, but it shapes the entire route.

Kenny’s Pond Park is a peaceful urban park located on just over four hectares in the east end of St. John’s. The park features a scenic walking trail that loops around Kenny’s Pond, offering views of the water, wetlands, and surrounding trees. In winter, the pond is also used as a skating rink.

Kent's Pond is a small, calm freshwater pond just outside downtown St. John’s. A flat loop trail circles the water, making it popular for easy walks, jogging, and birdwatching. The open shoreline offers clear views across the pond, with benches and quiet spots to pause.

Set in a narrow, sheltered inlet south of St. John’s, Petty Harbour is one of Newfoundland’s oldest fishing communities, known for its tight cluster of wharves, boats, and colourful houses backed by steep green hills. The harbour remains active, giving the village an authentic working-waterfront feel, with great views from the wharf and from the hillside roads above. It’s an easy place to wander on foot, with quick access to nearby trails, ocean viewpoints, and the dramatic coastline around Maddox Cove. A classic, atmospheric outport that feels close to the city but worlds away.

Beachy Cove is a small, sheltered bay accessed via a short path from Beechy Cove Road, ending at a quiet pebble-and-sand beach backed by forested slopes. The cove is well protected from the wider sweep of Conception Bay, giving it calm water and a tucked-away feel even on windier days. It’s a simple but scenic shoreline stop, with gentle waves, rugged headlands, and an easy walk down that makes it a favourite quick outing for locals. Parking is limited at the road end, which helps keep the area peaceful, especially in summer.

Very cute, nice ice cream store and mini aquarium for kids

It's not just the museum that's worth visiting here. Since it's the easternmost point in North America, you'll see a breathtaking sunrise in the early morning hours.

Excellent ice cream and coffee
