Badger

The landscape around Badger is a forested valley in central Newfoundland, which has shaped both the settlement’s linear form and its long connection to forestry. The town stands beside the Exploits River, Newfoundland’s longest river, within an interior that historically supplied timber to the island’s pulp-and-paper industry. Badger developed as a railway and logging community on the former Newfoundland Railway; its corridor is now part of the Newfoundland T’Railway Provincial Park, a cross-island multi-use trail. An ice jam on the Exploits caused severe flooding here in 2003, underscoring the river’s continuing presence in local life.
