Humber Valley

rdf:langString Humber Valley

rdf:langString The Humber Valley is a region in the western part of the island of Newfoundland. The Humber Valley is formed by the Humber River. The upper part of the valley follows the Upper Humber River (upstream from Deer Lake) and contains the communities of Reidville and Cormack. After the river discharges into Deer Lake, the valley broadens to include the entire width of the lake including the town of Deer Lake, as well as the local service districts of St. Jude’s and Pynn’s Brook, and the community of Pasadena. The valley narrows at the western end of the lake where it discharges into the Lower Humber River. This remaining part of the valley includes the local service district of Little Rapids, as well as the Humber Valley Golf Resort which is adjacent to the Marble Mountain Ski Resort, and the community of Steady Brook. The valley ends at the eastern end of Corner Brook where the river discharges into the Bay of Islands at the appropriately named "Humbermouth". The Humber Valley region has a population of about 36,000, making it the major hub for Western Newfoundland. It is considered one of the most picturesque areas of the province. The Humber Valley region is sometimes extended to include the communities of Howley, Jackson's Arm and Hampden.
