Torngat Mountain National Park Reserve
Rich in its cultural history and magnificent natural heritage, the Torngat Mountains has special meaning to the people of Labrador as a "place of spirits". As Canada's 42nd national park, the Torngat Mountain Park is one of the country's most exciting regions for outdoor adventure. With approximately 9,700 square kilometres of natural park land, visitors can discover the highest mountains in Canada east of the Rockies, see some of the oldest rocks on earth and witness exciting wildlife in their habitat.
The Torngat Mountains are amongst the most rugged ranges in eastern North America and stretch along the world's most wild but beautiful coastlines. The highest peak in the Torngats rises to 1,652 metres above sea level. In the coastal fjords, cliffs rise straight up more than 900 metres. With its mystic fjords and gentle river valleys, this park provides outdoor enthusiasts ample opportunity to explore, learn and be inspired.
As the historical homeland of Labrador's Inuit, the Torngat Mountain National Park operates under the guiding management of Parks Canada and follows the principles of Inuit stewardship through the Nunatsiavut Government. The park is a remote wilderness area without facilities or road access. Though open year round, visitation is only practical and recommended during the spring and summer months.
Access to the park is possible by travelling to the community of Nain, where travel to the park can be arranged with charter services. All visitors should note that registration and contacting the park office is required before entering the park. For additional information and complete park registration requirements, please call or visit the Park Office in Nain and review the Park web site.
