Grey River, Newfoundland and Labrador

Grey River is a local service district and designated place in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Grey River was first settled in the early 1800s by English 'youngsters' brought to Newfoundland via great merchant houses based at Ramea, Burgeo, and Gaultois.

[8] Fishing has long remained the main industry in Grey River with the salmon fishery becoming an economic backbone for the community.

It was turned into a gas pump in 1988 once the sawmill had fallen out of use and a place to store gasoline and fuel was needed.

They dumped the leftover dirt about a hundred meters from the mine entrance by using a little cart run by a diesel motor.

[10] Burgeo is linked by Route 480 to the Trans-Canada Highway and Stephenville airport approximately 125 km to the North.

The claims are accessed by foot and helicopter while the Main Zone adit is within 150 metres by gravel trail from Grey River village.

Located between two mountains, a sheltered basin offers protection from the raging winds which often stop the ferry service from running on schedule.
