Northern Arm offers easy-going coastal living on the Bay of Exploits, with room to breathe and views that change with the tide. Anglers and nature lovers gravitate to the renowned Exploits River and the educational exhibits at the Salmonid Interpretation Centre, operated by the Environment Resources Management Association, which celebrates the region’s salmon run and river restoration efforts. Daily life feels refreshingly straightforward here: quiet streets, friendly waves at the local wharf, and quick access to amenities in nearby Botwood and Grand Falls-Windsor. On weekends, many residents hike the forested paths at the Corduroy Brook Nature Centre, a family favorite for its boardwalks and wildlife viewing, or launch a small craft to watch seabirds scour the bay.
Families appreciate that schooling is organized through the Newfoundland and Labrador School District, with K–12 options close by, while healthcare needs are served by Central Health’s Central Newfoundland Regional Health Centre in Grand Falls-Windsor. Post-secondary learners benefit from the nearby College of the North Atlantic’s Grand Falls-Windsor campus, and regional travel is straightforward thanks to Gander being within driving distance of Gander International Airport. Year-round, the community leans into outdoor living—think berry picking in late summer and snowmobile outings when the powder arrives—yet it stays connected to employment, shopping, and culture a short drive away.
