South River is the first community off Roaches’ Line, the connector road to the Trans Canada Highway. It is part of the Baccalieu Trail, a scenic drive around the Conception Bay, Trinity Bay areas.
Politically, South River is in the Provincial District of Harbour Main and in the Federal District of Avalon.
South River is a beautiful, quiet town where the green country atmosphere contrasts with the spectacular seascapes seen in most of the Baccalieu Trail.
The area at one time had a thriving lumber and boat building industry. Logs were floated down the river to the shore.
