The morning air draping the Humber Valley touches your lips like a cool drop of water. It caresses every inch of you with a distinct sensation that our travellers find hard to describe. Comforting? Invigorating? Sweet?

This valley is almost without description. It stretches 70 kilometres along the banks of the Humber River from Deer Lake to the Bay of Islands. From a canoe on the crystal waters of the river, view the lush trees and bushes against the Long Range Mountains - a vision of nature’s beauty. Here you can camp, hike, boat, golf, and relax in hotels and campgrounds. And drop your line in the crisp water for a day of fishing in one of the best Atlantic Salmon fishing rivers on the planet.

In the winter, take a trip over snow metres high. This is a paradise for alpine and Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and sliding. A perfect place to take a nature walk and identify caribou, bird, or rabbit tracks etched into the freshly fallen snow.

If you’re into skiing, look no further than Marble Mountain Ski Resort. Looking out over the valley, it has been named the best skiing east of Canada’s Rocky Mountains. Here, you can carve up the slopes and hike the forests paths to Steady Brook Falls. At the end of the day, have a hot meal at the chalet and relax with friends.

A writer once described our valley’s air as “distinctly and undeniably soft”. Its unique scent and temperature are subjects of thought for many passing through. You might think it’s silly to ponder the air, but in Humber Valley, surrounded by the pinnacle of nature, you can relax and think of nothing else.

Humber Valley is located minutes from the Deer Lake Airport, Corner Brook, and just 45 minutes from Gros Morne National Park.
