WHAT YOU CAN SEE...
Have an amazing time spending time within the only national park in the Taiga Shield ecozone. See a variety of birds, such as bald eagles, geese, loons, and swans and take time to wander around the beautiful Lake Melville. You can also take this opportunity to explore some of the oldest rocks on earth from the Precambrian era, and see the mesmerising wildlife species that inhabit the ecozone.

GETTING DRESSED...
The annual temperature is -2 degree Celsius. During the summer the temperature is usually around 8.5 degree Celsius. So wearing a sweater and possible trousers would be most recommended when visiting the Melville National Park. During the winters, there is a mean average to -13 degree Celsius. So wearing multiple clothing is greatly encouraged. This national park includes some of the best timberland in Labrador. The timberland is a great habitat for the caribou, moose, small mammals, birds, and waterfowl species.

ENJOYMENT
The Melville National Park is a great place to spend time with friend and family. It's a great way to show your children the beauty and wonder the Taiga Shield has to offer, with its beautiful landscaped and variety of wildlife. It is also a place to escape from the city. Happy Valley Goose Bay only has a population of about 10 500 people, so at your stay at Melville National Park, you'll be relieved form the noisy city. Take time to go canoeing and hiking near the charming Melville Lake.
