- Welcome new and returning viewers! This video shows days 1, 2, and 3 of our 11 day 2022 Crossing Newfoundland By ATV trip from September 2022. This year we traveled over 1300 km (800+cross miles) covering the entire island east to west from Argentia to Port Aux Basques. In this video you'll see our road trip to the NL Ferry Terminal, riding ATV's from Argentia to Clarenville, and our trip to the abandoned amusement park "Trinity Loop". Our ferry arrived over 6 hours late on the first day which put us far behind schedule to start the day. It was interesting riding the trail for so long at night. I hope you enjoy this year's series. There will be four parts in total. We stayed in Hotels or cabins each night this year. If you want to see us camping check out my 2020 Crossing Newfoundland By ATV playlist on my RUclips channel, link below.
After watching this series you'll understand why I call it the ATV TRIP OF A LIFETIME. If you want to learn how to plan this trip on your own check out my online resources (Free).

OOPS! I realize Greg's machine is a Yamaha Kodiak, not a Suzuki KingQuad. I'm not sure how I made that mistake. 😑
Amazing!! You are an absolute legend. I could watch these videos for hours, can't wait for the rest!
Thank you! I'm glad to know you like them so much. I'll release part 2 in a week's time.
We watched all four in this series. They gave us valuable information regarding routes across the Island. Even people who live here can benefit from these videos. Thanks!!
I'm glad to know you liked the videos! Thanks for message. I'll be coming out with another series in the next few months from last year's trip.
Just found your videos. On my bucket list now!
Don't wait too long! Thanks for the message.
Visited the park when I was a young fellow,.at the time the train went around the pond so far and reversed back again. Had a wonderful time there. I believe there is a person trying to get it back open again.
Igor took a toll on the park and vandals as seen in the video.
Look forward to the rest.of the series.
Thanks! and thanks for posting about your visits at Trinity. I read in the news that someone was trying to buy it and turn it into something new. I hope it's successful.
Love that Rmax!! That thing is a Beast!
It's a really nice machine.Yamaha did a great job. Thanks for watching.
Been waiting for this, look forward the the rest of the series!
Thanks Patrick! Part 2 will be out next week. I hope you like it.
Cannot wait to see the rest! These vids are amazing!
Thanks! I'm glad you like them.
Makes us wanna go back. Thanks for the video Pat.
Thank you. I hope you definitely go back.
I have my heart set on this, my father did it once before. I wish we could have done it together before he unfortunately passed. Thank you for the guides and videos
I'm sorry to hear about your father's passing. I hope you get to do the trip sooner than later. Thanks for watching and posting a message.
Awesome. Was looking forward to this series. 👍.
Thanks Lloyd! I hope you like it.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks for posting a message.
Thanks for your info,I went to your seminar in Truro and followed your GPS tract on our trip,had a great time.thanks.
Glad to know you had a great time! Thanks for leaving a message Gary.
Great video, made the best of that little delay with the ferry, no use getting upset over things you can't control. Looks like a great bunch of guys to hang with, nice new machines this year.
Thanks Michael! You're right. There's nothing we could do about the delay so no point stressing. We did have a great bunch of guys on the trip. Thanks for watching.
I remember when it was a old jeep they had converted for the track to pull the train before they updated and had the actual train, was a really nice swimming pool that use to be at the start of trinity was always a great area
I head a business was thinking of buying that area and developing something there. I certainly hope they do.
Going to do this trip this summer. Thanks for the videos and all the other resources.
I'm glad my videos helped you out. Have a great trip!
I miss trinity loop so much ive stayed at the cabins ive been on the ferris wheel, played paint ball and mini golf. Its so sad to see it now. Thanks for all your videos love watching
I would liked to have seen it in its prime. I'm glad you like the videos, thanks for watching!
Awesome trip! Incredible job documenting it and telling the story!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. It means a lot coming from you guys.
Hoping to do this next year!
So glad to see you back on the Rock! Love your videos. Looking forward to the entire series.
Thanks Dave!
you guys left on my birth day
Excellent show as usual. Keep up the good shows.
Thank you!
Thank you, much appreciated!
We did Port aux basques to hawkes bay and back down in Aug 2022, awesome time going back again this year just under 1800km
Thats a great run. I did that a few years ago. Thanks for watching, and posting!
OMG Patrick this video of Robinson's to Port Aux Basques is spectacular, the photography and videoing is superb, you captured many of the highlights and your detail to safety and ATVing tips is great. See ya 'all in July...
Thanks, Ruth! We are looking forward to it. See you in July.
I know these videos take A long of time to make and film but just want to thank you my family loves watching them and we are planning on doing the Newfoundland trip soon because of your videos
Thank you very much, I appreciate that. I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Have a great trip to NL!
Awesome adventure man. The views and friendship on the trip are what make amazing memories.
I agree! Thanks for watching and posting. I love watching your camping videos. I will be doing some camping this year when the weather warms up around here.
Great video Patrick! Can’t wait to watch the rest. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks Cory! Part 2 will be uploaded Wednesday.
You do an amazing in job with these videos. Very inspirational! Thank you.
Thank you, Glenda. I appreciate that!
Great video Patrick! Looking forward to seeing the Quebec series as well.
Thanks Rod!
Nice machines, but that "Suzuki 750 King Quad" looks a lot like a "Yamaha Kodiak 700" great video, love them all.
You're right, that's exactly what it is. Not sure how I made that mistake.
Wow thank you for putting so much effort into your videos. Very inspiring!
Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad you like them. Thanks for watching and taking time to post a message.
Excellent Patrick! You're right, I'm considering trading my commander in for a new four seater. They're pretty awesome rig. Thought about the Maverick too, but man they sure are proud of them!
Thanks! The four seaters are very nic, but they are too long for me. Thanks for watching and posting!
Grew up in Newfoundland and would love to do this trip with the boys some day soon. 👍
Your videos are awesome! I’ve spent many of my younger years on some of those trails with family! I would love to do the complete trip!
Thanks! I just subscribed to your channel. I look forward to looking at some of the videos later. You should get a group together and use my maps to plan your trip.
Amazing Scenery! I'd love to bring my kids to cross the province one day.
It certainly is picturesque. You should totally bring them it's a great family trip! Thanks for watching and posting.
What kind of shape is the trail to Trinity in? I have never been in that way on ATV yet; I thought it was full of washouts. On your map, did you folks use the red or purple trails from southern bay onwards? Loved the video, always look forward to your series every year!
It was great. No issues. I took the yellow trail heading north, green heading east, red heading north, and purple heading east. Thanks for the nice comment, I'm glad you like the videos. Thanks for posting!
I would really like to go on a trip like this, but then I had to rent a atv or utv. But it is on my bucket list.
You could fly into Deer Lake and rent an ATV or SxS there and do part of this trip. It's a wonderful time! Thanks for watching.
@@EastCoastATV I will look into this tip, thank you.
Enjoyed your video, was looking forward to this one on the run up to the Trinity Amusement Park as we may take it in on next years' trip (third trip to NL). Just to confirm, your GPS track on your map to Trinity is from your trip in August? Thanks.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I just updated the map recently. The route we took last year is on there to Trinity Loop.
Great video ,was waiting for it to come out .I heard you were doing the Gaspe this year but now you have done both.Looking forward to seeing the Gaspe one living in Quebec.I bought a new sxs for the trip this summer a defender hd9 xt
Thanks Jeff! The Defenders are very nice and comfortable machines. I hope you have good luck with it.
I absolutely love your videos and website you’ve got me convinced to do the trip now just gotta get the girlfriend convinced to do it
I hope you convince her..lots of couples do this trip from what I've seen. Thanks for the nice comment and posting.
I thought New Brunswick had nice trails!
They definitely have nice trails in NB.
A group of us are crossing this September. Including someone from your group Duane
Have a great time!
I grew up along side the Trinity Loop. Went there often as a kid. Sad to see the state it’s in now. It looks like it’s going to be sold soon and redevelopment. I’m not sure what route you took to get there but it’s best to take the foresty roads from Lethbridge
It’s a little out of the way but there’s a plane crash site in Burgoynes cove that’s worth visiting
How are the bugs during July? Do we need to pack head nets and the like?
It totally depends on the weather. If there is a lot of rain, there will be bugs. Honestly I've never really been bothered by the flies there any time of year. Bring bug spray and it may be a good idea to bring mesh, just in case. Try to stop in open areas where it may be breezy to keep any flies that are there away from you. I went in July two years ago and the bugs weren't bad. I'm going again in late July this year.
Love the videos, never been to Newfie before, lived in Halifax for 17 years and been almost everywhere in the maritimes with the exception of Newfoundland. Would love to do this, any plans for the 2024 season yet?? Fairly long trip for me as I’m in Kingston Ontario.
Newfoundland is beautiful. You don't have to cross the island by ATV to see many beautiful spots. You could fly into Deer Lake and rent a car and drive to Gros Morne National Park and stay there for a few days. It's really amazing there.
This is such a great adventure! Do women ever join the group? And what about tenting it along the trail?
Thanks! Women don't join our group as most of our wives aren't interested in ATVing for a week. I have seen lots of couples do this trip and this past year in 2023 I saw lots of them on the trails. Some years we tent and some years we don't. Check out my videos from 2020 to see us camping.
@@EastCoastATV well they have to become more adventure-seeking women🤗.
@@she_walksthru My wife skydives, I think ATVing is boring to her.
@@EastCoastATV I can understand that as I have skydived in the past, now I seek adventure thru- hiking long distances on end living out of a backpack ( anything under 600km is boring to me). Although the thought of doing a long distance trip from one end of NL to the other on the old train track route via a recreation vehicle, camping out along the way, seems like it would be a grand adventure! I am assuming doing so is possible? I need to look into that!
@@she_walksthru You can totally ride the railbed and camp along the way. I've done it a few times. I usually break it up with a night or two of camping then stay in a cabin or motel.
Hey Patrick! I live in Newfoundland and I’m the only one of my friend group that is into ATV riding, so I do a lot of trips by myself. To date I’ve only made shorter, one day trips bit I want to get out and do some more longer trips. Would you recommend someone doing this trip alone? Are there many camp sites where I could pitch a tent? Any info/ recommendations are very appreciated!
Hello! Sorry to hear your friends don't ride ATV's. You could do the trip alone, no problem. I usually suggest people don't do that in case of breakdowns or if any medical issues pop up. If you're an experienced rider and are prepared for flat tires, etc then I would say sure go do it. Just be sure to keep in touch with people at home daily if you can on your phone to let people know where you're at, and where you're going. I have some places mapped out on my website for camping like Serpentine Lake, Grand Lake, and a few others. Also, you can camp pretty much wherever you find a good spot. If you're not familiar with my website it's www.crossingnewfoundlandbyatv.com, go to the map page and click on the photo of the map. It will open in Google Maps and you can zoom follow the trailway and zoom in to see places I have marked you may want to see, or places you may want to stay. I hope that helps!
I wonder what is left of the trail from Port Aux Basque to Wreck House after the hurricane last fall?
Some of it was wiped out.
love the videos!, greg's bike is a *Yamaha Kodiak 700* not not a Suzuki king quad 750.
You are absolutely right! I knew I made that mistake and meant to fix it and forgot about it. I will make sure that's corrected in Part 2.
What do you use for a gps
Locus Maps Classic on an Android Tablet.
Are there some accessories that you recommend vs ones that are not worth it?
Yes, go to my website and scroll to the "packing tips" section near the bottom. www.crossingnewfoundlandbyatv.com/planning
@EastCoastATV my goodness you've got everything planned out to a T. I ended up ordering the lock rear bed rack and the one that goes on top of the roof along with the front storage rack. According to the website the bed extender and the lock and ride that fits into the bed use same hole and won't work together. What's your thoughts on tire chains good or bad? Try to make sure when I do go on a ride that I have every base covered.
Did you link to the trinity amusement park info? I cannot seem to find it
Yes, it's on the gps tracks on my website. Go to my website, then to the GPS page, click on the map and zoom into the Clarenville area. You'll see the tracks to the Amusement Park (It's in the Trinity Area)
Here is another link if you want to read about it www.hiddennewfoundland.ca/trinity-train-loop.
@@EastCoastATV thanks!
Hey! looking at getting my parents a GPS for their sidebyside, do you have any recommendations on tablets? I see there are some with LTE and some with just Wifi wondering if the gps works with the wifi only versions. Was thinking Samsung A7 Lite?
Hey! That's a great present. The Samsung A7 has a good GPS chip. You don't need a cell phone chip unless you want internet. The GPS will work without cell signal. Just download a map program like Locus Maps Clasic for them and download provincial or state maps for offline use so they can see the maps without cell signal. Good luck with your purchase.
@@EastCoastATV thank you!!
@deadlyfraser you're welcome
Would like to have the opportunity to take this ride but I live in Montana and my Polaris ranger north star isn't built yet
Montana is a long way! If you're adventurous you could also travel all the way up here after your machine is built. It's about 50 hours driving though! You're probably better off to fly to Deer Lake and rent an ATV or SxS from Rugged Edge and do a portion of the trip that way. You'd still get to see a lot of amazing scenery on the west coast area. Thanks for watching all the way from Montana!
@@EastCoastATV thank you for providing additional advice for what kinds of things I'll need to keep inside the rig like a bug out bag
Where’s your Quebec trips video?
Haven't had time to finish them unfortunately.
Here's part 1 - ruclips.net/video/04c5ivxEkOg/видео.html
Wow this is Amazing..I own Humber River Off grid tours right on the main trails on the west coast of NL if your ever this way look me up for accommodations..I also Have a RUclips channel nel as well Adventures Off Grid..thanks for sharing this trip😊
Thanks for the nice comment, Ashley! I will look up your business and keep it mind on our future journeys.
