Situated on the Great Northern Peninsula on one of the few remaining near-wilderness areas of Newfoundland, the 57 kilometers Main River flows from the Long Range Mountains into White Bay, an arm of the Atlantic Ocean. Its scenic environment is known for the great beauty and serenity of Paradise Pool and Big Steady, marshy areas which provide a home to myriad species of birds and plants, including sizeable populations of moose and caribou.
