Our Community

Northern Arm is located in the central region of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. More specifically, the town lies 18 kilometers north of the Trans Canada Highway, along Route 350/352.

Route 350 can be found 11 kilometers east of Grand Falls-Windsor, and 72 kilometers west of Gander. As you drive along Route 350, you will pass the neighbouring communities of Peterview and Botwood, and will enter Northern Arm as you cross Northern Arm Brook.

Trails and Hiking

The Pendragon Trail is located opposite Tree View Lane and Sunset Drive. It has a dedicated parking area across the road from the beginning of the trail, alongside Tree View Lane

The trail extends along the water’s edge out onto Evans’ Point, and takes approximately 50 minutes to walk. Near one end of the trail there is a gazebo built over the water with a walkway extending from its edge in to the shore. In this gazebo you will find a pair of mounted binoculars which can be used to observe the various species of birds that have made Northern Arm their home. Some of these species include: Canadian Geese, Ospreys (fish hawk), Bald Eagles, Snipes, Northern Ravens, Warblers, Spotted Sandpipers, Ring Billed Gulls, and many more.

Playground

Our playground facility holds a variety of activities for children and adults. Here we have a swing set, monkey bars, a slide, a small basket ball court and see-saws. Also, our playground lies on a large field of grass. This creates an ideal place for a small game of football or soccer.

Placed throughout the playground are picnic tables, making it a great place to have lunch. You can also follow a board walk trail that stretches the entire perimeter of the park. We now have permanent booths with electricity that offers a great place for birthday parties, reunions or just a place to stop for a picnic. There are washroom facilities during the summer months.

Ella's Evergreen Community Garden

Ella's Evergreen Community Garden is in honor of Ella Humphries, our town's past town manager for many years. Residents are ask to sign up for a garden box at the beginning of the season.

This garden was possible with the support from Newfoundland Power, The Government of Newfoundland Labrador and the Town of Northern Arm. Thank You.

Little Free Library

Take a book. Leave a book. Share the joy of reading!

Our Free Library is a community space where everyone is welcome to borrow a book, enjoy a good read, or share a book with someone else.

There are no memberships, fees, or due dates. Simply choose a book you’d like to read and return it when you’re finished, or pass it along to someone else. If you have books at home that you no longer need, you’re welcome to donate them to the library for others in our community to enjoy.

The Free Library is built on the simple idea of sharing, giving, and bringing our community together through the love of reading.

Take a book. Leave a book. Keep the stories moving!
