Grey River

geography

In the country of Canada, Grey River is located on the southwest coast of Newfoundland. It is on the northwest side of Jerts Cove, east of Ramea, about a mile within the inlet. Grey River shores are steep and bold. The population today reaches about 160 residents. The first report in 1857 shows a population of only thirteen citizens. The community offers amazing scenery as a small passageway leads into the settlement from the bay. Between two mountains, a small shelter offers protection from the large amount of winds which often stop the ferry service from running on schedule. These hills reach an elevation of 199-305 meters or 1000 feet and are great for climbing. In the winter, they make a perfect trail for sliding and believe it or not: skiing!
