The Newfoundland T’Railway Council is a non-profit organization that aims to develop a recreational trail from St. John’s to Port aux Basques by using the former Canadian National railway line. The council aims to promote multi-use trail development while preserving abandoned railway lines for future use, such as hiking, biking, equestrian, snowmobile, ATV, and cross-country ski trails.

Other activities like dog sledding and snowshoeing may also be appropriate in some regions. The trail is known as the Newfoundland T’Railway Provincial Park and extends for 883 km (548 miles), linking urban, rural, and wilderness areas. This park is an integral part of the Newfoundland section of the Trans Canada Trail, which stretches from St. John’s, NL, to Victoria, BC, and Tuktoyaktuk, NWT. The Trans Canada Trail, once complete, will be the longest continuous trail in the world, spanning more than 22,000 km.

The rail bed route, known as the Newfoundland T’Railway Provincial Park, spans 883 km (548 miles), connecting urban, rural, and wilderness areas. The park is part of the Trans Canada Trail, stretching from St. John’s, NL to Victoria, BC and Tuktoyaktuk, NWT. Upon completion, the Trans Canada Trail will be more than 22,000 km long, making it the world’s longest continuous trail.

Our long-term goal at the Newfoundland T’Railway Council is to ensure the sustainable development and preservation of the T’Railway, maintaining its ecological integrity and cultural significance while securing its role as a recreational haven for both present and future generations. Maintaining this extensive trail network is costly and challenging, particularly with natural obstacles like spring runoff and beaver activity.
