    From Eastern Seaboard United States / New England

    Visitors from the East Coast US region have the choice of driving the entire distance or taking one of the ferries from Maine to Nova Scotia. The ferries offer great convenience and save mileage, but do not cut down significantly on overall travel time.

    The most direct route to Newfoundland from New England is via Bangor / Brewer, ME. From points south, connect to I-95 and drive north to Bangor / Brewer, ME. Take "Exit 45A I-395 to Bangor/Brewer and US-1A/ME-9" to Brewer and then ME-9 ("Airline Route") to Calais, ME and the Canadian Border at St. Stephen, NB. From St. Stephen, take Provincial NB Hwy #1 to Sussex, NB via Saint John, NB where you connect to the Trans Canada Highway "east" towards Nova Scotia. Refer to Atlantic Canada driving directions above from here. We recommend using MapQuest for detailed driving directions and maps from your home city to Corner Brook. We recommend taking the ME-9 highway from Bangor to Calais, so Step 1 in MapQuest should be from your home city to Calais, ME, USA, then Step 2 in MapQuest should be from Calais, ME to Corner Brook, NL.

    From Portland Maine, the Prince of Fundy Cruises offer a ferry to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia that will cut 800 km (495 miles) of driving (one way) from your trip to Corner Brook. Visit their site or call 1-800-845-4073 for reservations.

    From Bar Harbour, Maine, Bay Ferries Limited operates "The Cat" high speed catamaran ferry to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. This ferry crosses the Bay of Fundy in several hours and the crossing cuts 400 km (250 miles) of driving (one way) from your trip to Corner Brook. If you choose this route, we recommend taking the NS Hwy #103 along the south shore of Nova Scotia to Halifax, then Truro and the Trans Canada Highway East.
