Lark Harbour

The Town of Lark Harbour is settled at the tip of the Bay of Islands’ South
shore. The town was named by the British sailor, Captain James Cook.
Captain Cooke was the first to map Newfoundland and named the town of
Lark Harbour after on of his ships, the H.M.S. Lark.

Lark Harbour is the sister community of York Harbour. From the top of
Murrin’s Hill, as you enter Lark Harbour, the view of this community
nestled between the harbour and the mountains is unforgettable.
The community was incorporated in 1974 and includes Bottle Cove and Little
Port. The Blow-Me-Down Provincial Park is the pride of York Harbour and Lark Harbour, offering both long and short hiking trails with an observation tower at the peak of the climb. Governor’s Staircase (stairs in a cave) is an especially interesting attraction.
