Mud Lake is a small community located in central Labrador, 8 kms from Happy Valley-Goose Bay. It is inaccessible by road; it is usually reached by crossing the Churchill River by snowmobile (during winter) or by boat (during summer). The author Elizabeth Goudie was born in Mud Lake and documented some of her young life there in her moving depiction of the life of a trapper’s wife in her book “Woman of Labrador”.
