Hiking & Walking Trails - Cow Head

Cow Head is the home of the Lobster Festival, held annually, providing lively, traditional entertainment to residents, and visitors, of all ages. But there's much more to see and do in Cow Head.

The sandy, shallow beach provides excellent swimming, or you can dig clams and pick mussels. Cow Head Summerside is an interesting hike across the peninsula. On the Summerside, standing in its original state, is the Lighthouse, built in 1909.

Shallow Bay Campground offers all the services of any modern day park, plus kitchen shelters and an outdoor theatre. A telescope provides an excellent view of the Terns (Seabirds) on the islands just offshore. Being within the boundaries of Gros Morne National Park, wildlife in the area is protected, and abundant. Visitors are often entertained with sightings of moose, caribou, rare birds, etc. Cow Head invites you!
