Hike or stroll along the trail. The trail system has two sections, one within the downtown area and another above Margaret Bowater Park that takes visitors into the Gorge, the deep valley through which the stream flows. Most of the trail is a wide gravel path, but portions of the Upper Trail along the Gorge become rough and narrow dirt paths. The main corridor's gravel path is 4 km.
Eat at picnic areas, relax on the green, or swim in the stream (when lifeguards are on duty, of course).

Corner Brook got a sushi place. We can hardly believe it either. Nicer interior and food preparation than you would expect in a small mill town.

Fish & chips place with a few tables. It gets quite busy on Friday night as it's the only takeout fish & chips in town.

Two fine restaurants with a large selection of fine wines.
The fastest pizza in town: 7-10 min for orders, pick-ups, take out & delivery. Oven-roasted wings, home fries & donairs.
A typical rural Canadian interpretation of a 'pub' (in essence, no different than any other bar but in name).

A fairly cosmopolitan lounge. It often features live music on the weekends along with 2-for-1 all day & night. They offer organic espresso, latte, cappuccino. Jazz piano bar with trendy desserts and cocktails.
Once an administration building for the Pulp & Paper Mill, this Inn offers an Old World feel.
