Blow Me Down Provincial Park, Provincial park in Lark Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Blow Me Down Provincial Park occupies a small peninsula between Lark Harbour and York Harbour, at the mouth of the Bay of Islands on Newfoundland's west coast. Route 450 runs to the park, roughly 60 km west of Corner Brook and the Trans-Canada Highway. Trails in the park lead to viewpoints over the bay.
The sources do not record a founding date for Blow Me Down Provincial Park, so the 1975 date cannot be confirmed. What is documented is its position: a small provincial park on the west coast of Newfoundland island, on Route 450 about 60 km west of Corner Brook and the Trans-Canada Highway, on a small peninsula between Lark Harbour and York Harbour at the mouth of the Bay of Islands.
The name comes from the Blow Me Down Mountains, the ridge the park's trails look out on above the Bay of Islands. The surrounding harbours, Lark Harbour and York Harbour, are small outport communities at the mouth of the bay, and the park is reached by Route 450, the same road that links them.
The park provides 28 basic campsites with comfort stations, drinking water, fire pits, and laundry facilities available from June to September. Visitors should book campsites early and prepare for variable weather, as the coastal region can be quite windy.
