Trail update - Spring 2024

Excited to get out and explore the trails in the RM of Stanley? We are too! With the dry spring, many of our trails are presently rideable and open for hiking. As always, if we experience rain, we ask that you stay off the trail so that ruts don’t develop.

The Trans Canada trail running through the RM of Stanley has several sections that are on gravel roads. An option to enjoy the outdoors (while the trails are drying) is to head out for a bike ride on the gravel road sections of the Trans Canada trail. This map can get you started and there are signs along the way. Staying off of the single track sections of trail will give them a chance to dry out. The sooner they dry, the sooner everyone can enjoy them. If you are on the single track sections and find yourself sliding or leaving deep imprints, then it is too wet to proceed. Please do not travel adjacent to the trail attempting to avoid the wet conditions.

The STA appreciates the donations that it has received in the past. One of the ways that the STA uses donations is to employee rural youth for summer employment to do trail maintenance. This has been a successful approach over the past few years and we plan to continue this in 2024. If you are interested in donating to the STA, click here. Your donation will have a direct impact on the maintenance of the trails.

Happy trails from the STA.

A gravel ride is a great way to enjoy the outdoors in this beautiful part of the province.
