What to do and see in Okanagan Valley, Okanagan Valley: The Best Biking Trails

April 14, 2022 Kandra Bartel

The Okanagan Valley, in the interior of British Columbia, is a popular Canadian vacation destination known for skiing in the winter and watersports in the summer. The area's quaint towns and lush vineyards are connected by a network of clear blue lakes and rivers and surrounded by rolling, sun-dappled hills. Head to Kelowna for one of several wine festivals or to Penticton for the sugary summer Peach Festival. To the south is Osoyoos, home to an arid desert filled with rare plants and animals.

Okanagan Rail Trail

This is an old railway line so the grade is flat or with a minimal hill. The trail is wide and well packed gravel. It runs along the lake the entire way to Oyama.

My title of this review says it all. The owner is the one who helped us out and was great. The red wines are what we tried and they were amazing and priced great.

Kettle Valley Rail Trail

Reviewed By justravel

We rode out to naramata on the main road but decided to trust our gps to take us off the beaten track. We climbed up some major hills but ended up on the kvr. It was a downhill coast all the way back to penticton. It was a lot of fun. Warning we went up some 12% slopes to get to it. We had road bikes and you should have at least gravel bikes. We really enjoyed it.

After hiking another trail in the area we decided to drive up to north end of Vaseux lake to visit the new birdviewing tower. So peaceful, a must if you are visiting area.
