Project Description:

The proponent proposes to develop 21 waterfront cottage lots on the south side of the Exploits River across from the Town of Bishop’s Falls. The nine hectare cottage lot development is to be located between the forest access road just west of the dam at the Bishop’s Falls generating plant and the Bishop’s Falls trestle where it crosses the Exploits River. The cottage development can be accessed by a 750 metre road from the Bay D’Espoir Highway located approximately 2.2 kilometres south of the intersection with the Trans Canada Highway.
