Nestled in the heart of the Exploits Valley,
Bishop's Falls is an ideal home base
while you explore the scenic Exploits Valley and
surrounding coastal communities. Icebergs, whale
watching and scenic fishing communities are all
within an hour drive of our town.
Some of the best salmon fishing in North America
can be experienced on the Exploits River. Our
town boasts some of the best fish layout pools
on the river, most of which are just a short
walk from the Fallsview Municipal Park. With
angling this close to your campsite, you can
fish for a few hours in the morning or evening
and still take a day trip with your family.
Come see
Newfoundland's oldest and longest
railway trestle which spans the river at the
middle of this proud community. The trestle and
remnant railway bed are part of the Newfoundland T'Railway (Trans Canada Trail) which crosses the
province. A short hike along the T'Railway and
you can observe salmon jumping the town's fish
ladder. This is also an ideal point to view the
Bishop's Falls dam and power station.
A new Heritage Center is being established in
the former railway station providing a history
of our town and the railway in Newfoundland. And
for a true sense of railway life a train is on
display outside the station which is always a
hit with the kids.
Camping and day-use park services are available
at Fallsview Municipal Park. The park offers
shower and washroom facilities along with a
sheltered picnic gazebo on the upper level. The
lower level of the park affords visitors a
spectacular view of the Falls and has a gazebo
and bandstand which can accommodate major
events.
