The DROKE
Job's Cove is a small community which was originally called Devil's Cove. The “Droke” which is a very steep ravine (a valley from the road to the beach) is one of the outstanding geological features on the Baccalieu Trail. Tradition tells of a visiting priest remarking that "the people must of had the patience of Job [to climb it each day]" while gazing up the steep sides of the droke. - Baccalieu Trail Heritage Corporation.

Boardwalk behind the Museum
A 2 kilometre boardwalk is located behind the Flambro Head Museum. The trail is a loop configuration that meanders to a pond where trouting is popular. The pitcher plant and other types of native plants can be seen along the way. Several rest stops and look-outs are constructed along the boardwalk. On a clear day from a hilltop look-out you can see Carbonear Island in one direction and Baccalieu Island in the opposite direction. Bird watching and berry picking are several other past-times to enjoy. Wheelchair accessible, ample nearby parking is available.
