How to legally hike in Nova Scotia

#privateproperty #Novascotia #hiking
Understanding the law and how it applies to hikers on private property in Nova Scotia, is very important before heading out. In Nova Scotia we have the protection of property act (you can read it here: https://nslegislature.ca/sites/defaul...)

Disclaimer!! This video is no legal advise, it is my interpretation of the property protection act. I DO NOT advocate trespassing and strongly urge when possible, to seek permission to hike on private property. I am not responsible for any hikers who trespass or fail to get proper permission to access private property. This video is for informational purposes and I strongly recommend reading the law and consulting police or legal experts for any advise about the laws in Nova Scotia.

Personally I try to never knowingly cross private property; however, most of the time private property is not indicated and there's no houses around to go door to door asking permission. This video will help you understand where you have a right to hike and other recreation. It will also outline areas that you cannot trespass on, as well as what the fines and charges are.
