Trail Overview

Stanley Airport Road is an easy dirt road that serves as the main entrance to a large section of crown land in East Hants. This road is home to Stanley Airport and the Stanley Public Shooting Range, making it a notable route for various activities. It provides access to numerous roads leading into crown land, offering plenty of exploration opportunities. However, be cautious of active logging in the area. Additionally, the road may become rutted and muddy during the spring thaw or heavy rain, so plan accordingly. This road is perfect for those looking to explore the vast crown lands while enjoying the amenities nearby. Stanley Airport, located in Hants County, Nova Scotia, has a rich history dating back to World War II. It was established in March 1941 as RCAF Station Stanley, part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The airport served as the base for the Royal Canadian Air Force's Number 17 Elementary Flying School, which trained thousands of pilots using Fleet Finch II and de Havilland Tiger Moth aircraft. The school operated until January 1944, when it was closed as the war drew to a close. Today, Stanley Airport is home to the Stanley Sport Aviation Association, continuing its legacy in aviation.
