On July 14, officials with the IAT in Newfoundland Labrador, Parks Canada and Ocean Quest Adventures set out from the dock at Gros Morne National Park’s Trout River Pond on the new zodiac shuttle service to the trailhead of the Overfalls Trail, located at the southeast end of the 15 kilometer (9 mile) long pond. The trail was developed in 2010 by the IATNL in partnership with Park’s Canada, while the shuttle and boat tour were contracted to Ocean Quest.
