Public Advisory: T'Railway Provincial Park Closure Extended to Include Sections from Port Blandford to Thorburn Lake

The T'Railway Provincial Park closure now includes the section from Port Blandford to Thorburn Lake, encompassing approximately five kilometres of trail. This is in addition to the closure of the trail between Gander and Mary March Brook. These sections of the T'Railway are currently closed to all users due to recent damage caused by significant rainfall.

Users of the T'Railway Provincial Park are advised to use extreme caution as other areas of the trail may be affected by recent heavy rainfall and are reminded that inspection is currently ongoing and further closures may be necessary. To report damage, please contact the Parks and Natural Areas Division at trailway@gov.nl.ca or by telephone at 637-2040.
