Sandy Pond trail
Terra Nova National Park
Stroll this gentle loop around the tranquil waters of Sandy Pond and enjoy the boreal forest at its best. Look for ferns, mushrooms and snowberries beneath the black spruce and balsam fir trees. Watch for ducks swimming along the pond’s edge. Have a lunch at one of our picnic tables nestled in the woods beside the pond.
