St. Jude's

The community of St. Jude’s continues to survive, but with less vitality than existed
years ago. The “Waterchute”, as history distinguishes it, is located just west of Deer Lake on a main route that until the 1990’s, served as the Trans Canada Highway.

Although the landscape has changed, the unique personality of St. Jude’s that
was developed years ago still exists. The people maintain their pioneer ways
and entrepreneurial spirit. The residents of St. Jude’s often set up roadside venues and provide both the locals and tourists with a wide variety of wild berries and fresh bait during the summer months and wild game such as rabbit during the winter.
