North of this town on Highway 90 is Salmonier Nature Park, which contains natural-habitat enclosures that are home to disabled wildlife. Among the animals are rough-legged hawks, snowy owls, bald eagles, peregrine falcons, moose, lynx, caribou, snowshoe hare and river otters—all of whom are unable to survive in the wild because of their injuries. A boardwalk-and-trail route winds through the park, passing through bogs and various levels of boreal forests. It provides some incredible photo opportunities. Salmonier is 35 mi/55 km southwest of St. John's.
