Introducing Central Labrador

Making up the territorial bulk of Labrador, the central portion is an immense, sparsely populated and ancient wilderness. Paradoxically, it also has the largest town in Labrador, Happy Valley-Goose Bay (www.happyvalley-goose bay.com), home to a military base. The town (population 8000) has all the usual services, but unless you’re an angler or hunter, there isn’t much to see or do and it is very isolated.

Goose Bay was established during WWII as a staging point for planes on their way to Europe, and has remained an aviation center. The airport is also an official NASA alternate landing site for the space shuttle.

All sights and accommodations listed here are located in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
