Ray and Cyndie Humber live in Frenchman’s Cove, Bay of Islands, near the base of Blow-Me-Down Mountain. Their home is the starting point of many of NewFound Outfitting’ excursions. Their outlook on outdoor activity, education and fun will help make your adventure a memorable experience.

From the wetlands and waterways of the Serpentine River system to the rugged outcrops of the Blow-Me-Down mountains and Lewis Hills, the plants and animals found are as varied as the ecosystems in which they live.

From moose in the wetlands to highland flowers, the environment will hold you in awe.

While the lowlands of the Serpentine River are full of vegetation, the stark hills rise in contrast with the green lushness below. The perodite rock means practically no vegetation grows in the highlands, but the native plants and animals are both spectacular to see and a joy to discover.

The Newfoundland & Labrador provincial flower – the Pitcher Plant – a unique carniverous plant species, is found in abundance throughout the area.

How to Get Here

A trek to the highlands of Blow-Me-Down and Lewis Hills is challenging, but travelling to Newfoundland need not be. NewFound Outfitting is less than two hours away from both the Deer Lake and Stephenville airports, and a three hour drive from the Port aux Basques ferry. Regular flight connections to and from the island ensure your speedy arrival at your destination. If you live in the Eastern U.S. and Canada, we’re less than three hours away by air.

Accommodations & Equipment

An equipment list will be provided at the time of booking.  We can also advise clients on local outdoor equipment rental and retail outlets if requested.

B & B’s, hotels and motels are found within 30 minutes of the excursion start point. Accommodations before and after the excursions can be pre-arranged by NewFound Outfitting.
