Trout River is a small rural fishing village located on the southern coastal edge of Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland. Trout River was settled in 1815 by George Crocker and his family, who were its only inhabitants until 1880.[1][2][3] The community is served by Route 431.

There is a large natural tower of rock, a sea stack, just south of the town.[4]
