50 Years of the bare mountain star
Bare Mountain is one of the prominent features of the Clarenville’s skyline. It towers
some 156 meters above Clarenville’s harbour. You can reach the peak of Bare
Mountain relatively easily along the Bare Mountain hiking trail that can be accessed
at numerous points in the town. At the top, you can overlook most of the town, Random
Island and Smith Sound as it leads into Trinity Bay.
Beyond Clarenville residents, people are familiar with Bare Mountain because of the
prominence of the large star that sits at its top. Each Christmas season the star is
lit - making it visible from the Highway many kilometers beyond Clarenville’s boundaries.
The Bare Mountain Star was a 1967 Centennial project of the Town of Clarenville.
The original Centennial Star was designed, welded, wired and assembled by students
and faculty in drafting, carpentry, electrical, welding and pipefitting programs
at Clarenville campus of what is now College of the North Atlantic .
That original star stood as a treasured Town feature for almost 30 years. After it was
destroyed in a windstorm, the Town had a larger new star constructed to replace
the original. Today the Bare Mountain Star stands as a symbol for the Town and a
beacon at Christmas.
