Where the Trans-Canada Meets Terra Nova

Glovertown is the largest community on the Trans-Canada between Gander and Clarenville — and it sits right at the doorstep of Terra Nova National Park. Traytown and Cull's Harbour are two smaller communities on Alexander Bay just minutes east, connected by causeway and sharing Glovertown's services. This is a area with real infrastructure. Glovertown has a Foodland grocery store, three gas stations, an RCMP detachment, a community health centre with three physicians, a K–L4 school serving 309 students, and an arena with hockey and curling. It's not a cabin-country outpost — it's a functioning town with waterfront living, national park access, and a 41-minute commute to Gander.
