Gander is a Canadian town located in northeastern part of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, approximately 40 kilometres south of Gander Bay, a little over 100 kilometres from the town of Twillingate and 90 kilometres east of Grand Falls. Located on the northeastern shore of Gander Lake, it is the site of Gander International Airport, formerly an important refuelling point for transatlantic aircraft.

Gander is home to the Festival of Flight that occurs every year in August.

Located on the Trans Canada Highway between the James Paton Memorial Hospital and the Gander Tourist Chalet, the North Atlantic Aviation Museum has a wonderful display of Gander's aviation heritage.

Gander Lake is located in the central part of the Canadian island of Newfoundland.

Measuring 56 km (35 mi) in length and several kilometres in maximum width, the lake is oriented roughly northwest, southeast. The town of Gander is located on the eastern shore at roughly its mid-point. Gander Lake has been measured to 274 m (900 ft) in some areas, but has been estimated to much deeper depths, though not validated due to unclear openings in the "bottom" of the lake. It is the main source of water for the town of Gander.
