Haley Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary

Haley Lake Migratory Bird Sanctuary is a small protected bird area on the southwestern coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Established in 1980, it centers on Haley Lake, a freshwater lake set between the tidal Port L'Hebert estuary to the north and the Sable River estuary to the south, roughly 31 kilometers southwest of Liverpool. The sanctuary is part of the Important Bird Area known as the South Shore (Port Joli sector), a stretch of the Nova Scotia coast recognized for its significance to migratory and coastal waterbirds. Unlike the surrounding brackish bays and tidal mudflats, Haley Lake offers a freshwater haven, with rocky shoreline features where birds can rest away from the saltwater habitat that dominates the immediate coastline. The site is administered by the Canadian Wildlife Service and remains a quiet but ecologically meaningful component of Canada's network of Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in the Maritimes, contributing to the protection of staging and resting habitat for migratory geese and ducks along the Atlantic flyway.

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.
