The
Hogan Trail Boardwalk follows the Torrent River up to the 9-meter falls
It is one of the main attractions
in the area. It is a commemorative monument built in tribute to
a Newfoundland Ranger, Ranger John Hogan. Ranger
John Hogan was stranded, after his plane crashed in 1943.
Ranger John Hogan, after bailing out of the bomber in which
he and the second Ranger were passengers, spent 50 days in the interior of Hawke's Bay tending
to his severely
injured companion.
It is also a great means to gain access to the Torrent Falls where you can, in season,
view the salmon attempting to get upstream. The trail is 3 km long and is set in one of the most beautifully wooded
areas in Newfoundland.
This trail has been re-constructed to National Park standards. It includes the only wheelchair accessible ramp
for salmon sport fishers in Newfoundland. This ramp is located at "Jack's Pool", which yielded over 400
fish to anglers in 1998.
