The Stanley Trail is 51 km or 40 miles, from RM Stanley/Thompson boundary through RM Stanley to Rosengart. The trail enters from the R.M. of Thompson at the northwest corner and generally follows the line of the Pembina escarpment in a south easterly direction to within a mile of the Canada / U.S. border.
The southern part of the trail closely follows the Boundary Commission Trail. Open prairie skyscapes, shale cliffs, wild flowers, abundant wildlife, open grassland, rich agricultural lands, rolling hills, creek crossings, oak stands, poplar bush and dramatic views of the Red River Valley all promise to delight trail users. The most technically challenging and scenic portions are the ones that follow the wooded creeks along the escarpment.
Stanley trail offers unlimited opportunities for nature lovers, artists, historians, photographers, cyclists and explorers. Our trails are as varied as the multicultural makeup of our region.
This section of the Trans Canada Trail is great for biking, walking, horseback riding, back country cross country skiing, snowshoeing.

Trail Stewards
Local community groups become ‘stewards’ or ‘caretakers’ of sections of trail and parks in their neighbourhoods. These stewardship groups are the lifeblood of the Trans Canada Trail System. They work in partnership with the municipalities to oversee trail and habitat development, maintenance and educational opportunities.
The past several years of trail use has been a rewarding experience both for trail users and the landowners who have granted permission to have the trail traverse their property. Stanley Trail Association would like to thank the following landowners for their gracious cooperation:
David and Donna Lumgair
Howard and Isabel Reichert
Wayne and Susan Hunt
Brent Gouthro and Yvonne Stoesz
Wayne and Helen Penner
Dale and Ann Hoeppner
Harvey and Wendy Friesen
Adeline Peters
Wes and Karen Hamm
