Okanagan Rail Trail
Enjoy beautiful Okanagan vistas as you walk, run or ride the nearly 50 km trail connecting the North and Central Okanagan along the discontinued CN Rail corridor.
The trail is compacted gravel, as well as asphalt in sections, and every trip offers the opportunity to learn about the syilx (Okanagan) people, their traditional territory and to enjoy the rich natural ecosystems.
The trail includes 14 km in Kelowna, from downtown to YLW. Please note, YLW to Lake Country at McCarthy Road is currently closed. To learn more and find access point information visit: okanaganrailtrail.ca
