Accommodations & Meals

We are pleased to offer you lovely rustic, Scandinavian style accommodations in the heart of the Newfoundland wilderness, coupled with some of the highest quality outdoor experiences in Atlantic Canada.

The lodge is situated on the banks of a beautiful large pond, fringed by a spruce forest which is home to a variety of animals both large and small. From the extensive decks in front of the lodge, enjoy the morning song of birds, the frantic activity of squirrels, and maybe observe a moose or two grazing on the fresh green grass.

We take pride in introducing you to our region….historic fishing villages, world-famous cultural attractions and many natural wonders. Our coastal waters are home to numerous species of whales, an annual parade of 10,000-year-old icebergs and millions of seabirds. Our area is renowned for its abundant populations of moose, caribou and black bear, as well as rivers that teem with Atlantic Salmon and trout.

Main Brook is a hub for exploring the heritage trails this area has to offer including the famous Viking Trail which is the largest themed highway in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Grenfell Trail follows the footsteps of Sir Wilfred Grenfell, a medical doctor who had a major impact on the people of Northern Newfoundland, and Labrador. The French Shore connects several coastal communities through the intriguing history of the European fishing crews who braved the North Atlantic waters each spring, to harvest the plentiful cod here.

Fishing

The Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland has some of the world’s finest fishing rivers with species such as Brook Trout, Arctic Char, and Atlantic Salmon (being the main catches).

A typical salmon fishing season will begin as the salmon return to our rivers in late June and run until early September. During these months, our rivers are literally teeming with salmon. The lodge provides the best platform from which to put your angling skills to the test, putting you, our guest at the heart of the action.

Our guides are avid fishermen who are keen to show you the best fishing spots and to assist in landing that salmon. Guests at Tuckamore Lodge have a superb record of successful fishing trips. If you’d prefer to catch and release, the guides of the lodge can assist with the correct handling of the fish to ensure its safe return to the water.

The lodge is situated in Main Brook on the Northern Peninsula – the number one salmon and trout fishing destination in Newfoundland.
