Recently spent a night and day in corner brook after we cut our trip short to Gros Morne (due to poor weather). I grew up in Corner Brook but hadn't been back in quite some time. I was very pleased to see the town has made some great improvements since I lived here, including this tourist attraction. The little trail going to different outlooks was well done and of course the view of the surrounding area from up above was beautiful. The information that was on display throughout the area was EXCELLENT and well done. I would suggest that the town use the area for outdoor events and possibly build a small stage area. This would increase the usage of the area and take advantage of the fantastic view. On a busy day I could see parking being an issue but only if there was a really busy day there. Definitely check it out if you are the area, well worth it.

Captain James Cook National Historic Site isn't as spectacular as it sounds. There is a statue of James Cook and a few plaques with information about his accomplishments. You can also have a view of the city of Corner Brook and its surroundings. A little museum about James Cook would clearly be an interesting addition to the site.

They really need some more signage up around the city so tourists can find it. I went to the Visitors Information Centre and the directions they gave me were horrible, I had to get directions from the Railway Society on Riverside Drive to find my way there. I think on my drive there, I seen maybe two signs. Definitely not easily accessible to tourists however, when we arrived it was definitely beautiful.

Several panels around the statue give a brief description of James cook history. Not very crowded. Offers a great view of the bay.
