The seaport town of Lewisporte is situated at the head of Burnt Bay in the Notre Dame Bay in a well-protected harbour. Settlers first arrived in Lewisporte, previously named Burnt Bay and Marshville, in 1887 and engaged in the prosperous fishing, logging, and ship building industries. Lewisporte is named for Lewis Miller, an enterprising Scotsman who operated a logging company in central Newfoundland. Millertown, another community in this region is also named for him. Lewisporte and its surrounding area contain a number of wonderful hiking trails, these range from the fully built Woolfrey's pond boardwalk, to the natural views of several lookouts along the coast. The numerous forest access roads in the area are ideal for access to favourite hunting and fishing spots throughout the year. There are a number of excellent hunting & salmon rivers within easy driving distance from Lewisporte. Newfoundland is famous for its excellent hunting and some of the best hunting areas are readily available from town. Source: Town of Lewisporte
