La Manche Provincial Park

Absolutely beautiful. Will a hundred percent be coming back next year! Park staff are friendly and polite and patrol regularly so are extremely easy to find, park is extremely well kept and clean. They even supply metal garbage cans and recycling boxes to the campsites, which my friend and I were very pleased to find out when we arrived.

La Manche Provincial Park in Newfoundland is a hiker's paradise, boasting lush trails and stunning views, especially from the iconic suspension bridge. The park caters to all skill levels with well-maintained paths and offers a glimpse into diverse wildlife. The sense of community among hikers enhances the experience, making everyone feel welcome. Relaxing in the picnic areas after exploring is the perfect end to a day of adventure. It's an enriching experience that beckons for a return visit, truly a must-visit for nature lovers. Better have a try here!

We came here late May, mainly to see the suspension bridge, but unfortunately it was closed for repairs. The hike was decent with some opportunities to explore off the main trail. The remains of the abandoned La Manche settlement was also interesting to see. The only gripe is with the lack of signage for driving through the park; the main road was closed so we had to take a long detour to get to the entrance of the trail.

Nice, private spot. 50 amps electric. Wi-Fi in shower and laundry area. Washer and dryers are on their last legs. But they are cheap … and are there! Each site comes with garbage cans that are emptied daily. Very nice rangers. On the downside: access road is wobbly, campground roads are pot-holed and wet. There’s no drinkable water.

We camped in La Manche provincial park for two nights in July, and while the weather wasn't great, the campgrounds were excellent! It's very clean and well maintained. We checked out the playground, which is brand new; the swimming hole, which was a marked off area on the pond; and the comfort station with showers, which was very clean. There are several pit toilets and water taps (not for drinking) around the loops for campers to use. I had always wanted to check out the suspension bridge in La Manche, and so we did the trail to visit it, but the bridge was still closed due to construction. The trail we hiked was 1.4 km from the bridge to the parking lot, but it was hard in some areas with steep rocks. One of the biggest surprises about the area was how loud the frogs were in the evening.

I love this park. The first time I took the kids camping was here. You have many trails, campsites, swimming spots, the suspension bridge to explore. Great for all seasons (camping in the summer, not available in the winter). But this is also a part of the East Coast Trail, so there are many connecting trails; you can hike as long as you like. I also find it is a pretty easy trail for all ages.

The suspension bridge was closed. No cell service. No WiFi. It is a beautiful Provincial Park and I enjoyed my hiking day. Although I didn't camp there, I know it's $20 for nightly campsite. Absolutely worth it!

Very gorgeous hike! Moderate to difficult depending on time of year and conditions. We hiked this mid-to-late October, and the conditions were great!
