Quidi Vidi Lake

Quidi Vidi Lake is a 1600m long body of water located at the east end of the city of St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.

The South shore of the Lake boasts a number of residential and apartment complexes. The area features spectacular views and access to the many cultural events held at Lakeside.Quidi Vidi Lake has a 3.8km leg of St. John's Grand Concourse walking trail surrounding it. On the north end of the walking trail is a fenced-in outdoor dog park and a Modern Skate park.
