Paradise River is located on the east side of the river also named Paradise
River. The Paradise River provided an important route between the coast and the
Labrador interior for native peoples prior to European settlement.
The community of Paradise River was established in 1775 by George Cartwright. The people of
Paradise River were involved in the cod and salmon fishery in the summer months
and fur trapping and hunting in the winter.
Employment in the community today
comes the operation of small local sawmills or as guides to fishing and hunting
camps on the Eagle River.
Paradise River has access to Cartwright for public services.
