About La Manche Provincial Park
La Manche Provincial Park blends coastal scenery with forested trails and a notable suspension bridge that spans a scenic river gorge. Hikers can follow a variety of paths, explore the remains of the abandoned La Manche settlement, and take in waterfalls and seaside outlooks.
The park is family-friendly but also offers more rugged sections for adventurous walkers; camping facilities and picnic areas are available in season. Its combination of natural beauty and cultural remnants makes La Manche a rewarding day trip from St. John’s.
