The Glass Fishing Hut“In Rocky Harbour, artist Urve Manuel made an ice-fishing hut you can see through. Its walls are stained glass set in a metal frame, inspired by the hut her grandfather once pulled onto winter ice.”

Guide
Irving Oil is a gas station at 3 West Link in Rocky Harbour. It’s a useful errand when you’re driving between Gros Morne destinations: refuel in town when you need to, then continue with your route. This is a service stop, not an attraction to build extra time around.
The station lists diesel. If your vehicle needs a particular fuel, confirm the available grade before you commit to this stop; other fuel options could not be verified. Keep your route flexible if you need something specific.
There’s no separate walk, viewpoint or visitor attraction attached to the station. I’d pull in when you need fuel and save your park time for the places you came to see. It works best as a quick pause in Rocky Harbour, not a destination in its own right.
