Rennies River runs through the east side of St. John’s, flowing from the higher ground around Pippy Park down toward Quidi Vidi Lake. Along this section, it’s a narrow, steady-moving river bordered by trees, with a mix of shaded and more open stretches. You’ll cross it several times on footbridges as the trail follows alongside. The name comes from early landowner James Rennie, who owned property in this area in the nineteenth century. It’s not a dramatic river, but it shapes the entire route.
