Clarenville Area Sports
Clarenville is a sports and recreation wonderland. The town held the 1994
Newfoundland Winter Games and in 1997 the National Under 17 Men's Softball
Tournament. Clarenville offers many recreational activities including: a
complete health club with indoor pool, a public skating arena, three softball
diamonds and a recreation complex with three regulation size volleyball courts.
Nearby, for those who enjoy the outdoors, you will find two golf courses,
several hiking trails, vast snowmobiling country and many more nature
activities.
White Hills
 White
Hills Ski Resort was opened in 1988 with seven runs. Currently, it consists of
fifteen runs, along with a tubing park, snowboarding park, cross country trails,
and a beautiful state of the art lodge. During the winter season, White Hills is
open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekly and until 10 p.m. on Friday nights.
Twin Rivers Golf Course
 Located
in Terra Nova National Park, Twin Rivers Golf Course is approximately 25 minutes
from Clarenville. In 1983 the golf course originally opened with nine holes and
nine additional holes were constructed in 1991. Currently there are another nine
holes being constructed to make a total of 27 holes. The site of the golf course
was selected for its beautiful terrain and nature. There are two white water
salmon rivers that flow through the center of the course to the Atlantic Ocean.
The wildlife around the course is spectacular. Moose, Bald Eagles and Atlantic
Salmon all thrive in this park environment. The beautiful surroundings and
course setup make Twin Rivers one of the best golf courses in Atlantic Canada.
Twin Rivers is a par 71 golf course.
Brookside Golf Course
Located in Hatchet Cove, the Brookside Golf Course is a 15 minute drive from
Clarenville. The course was recently constructed and has 9 holes with another 9
holes to be constructed soon. The view from the fourth hole allows you to see
picturesque Trinity Bay.
Clarenville Stadium
The Clarenville Stadium was originally a livestock arena used for housing and
selling livestock. In 1956, the owners realized the potential of the building as
a hockey arena and bought ice making equipment from Bay Roberts, Newfoundland.
They then converted the Clarenville Livestock Arena to the Clarenville Hockey
Arena, also known as the Clarenville Stadium. All of the minor hockey teams,
senior men's teams, curling teams and figure skating teams from Clarenville and
surrounding area use the Clarenville Stadium to play and practice.
Outdoor Recreation
Clarenville is located near many excellent hunting grounds for Caribou and
Moose. Outfitting companies, such as Thorburn Lake Aviation, act as guides for
hunting trips, canoeing expeditions, white water rafting and hiking. The
Clarenville area also has boat touring companies which offer whale watching
tours and shore line tours of old outport communities. One boat tour company,
Island Rendezvous, takes its customers to Woody Island, Placentia Bay for a
weekend adventure.
Snowmobiling
The Clarenville area offers many beautiful snowmobiling trails. A primary trail
for many riders is the former Newfoundland Railway Track. For the more
adventurous snowmobiler, a day trip to the wilderness area, located beyond Black
River, and Middle Ridge proves to be very exciting.
