After letting your furry friend play in the water, you can stroll along the walkway and explore the Red Bridge and study its history. It is always a great find when dog owners can let their dogs run free and be themselves!! To have this facility within the downtown core is such a precious thing!

As well this place hits 3 pokestops and people would set off Lure playing Pokemon Go. I had a great time here and had to come twice to on two different days to catch rare or exotic Pokemon like Kabuto etc. As well there is a couple of gym here if you want to battle. Parking is not free. So this is definitely not cool. But if you continue to walk along the Riverside, you do hit more and more pokestop along with the nice view.

We are here in the first week of June and the weather is beautiful with flowers blooming which makes the park even more amazing! Parking is available but can get busy during nice weather days!!

The look out point has a bench where you can sit and take in the spectacular view of the lake. So beautiful. Unfortunately the dry weather and previous fires have left its mark. You can still see burnt trees. On the trail there are Saskatoon berries too. Spider webs and other wildlife. We were lucky not to encounter any rattlesnake along the way. My friend has seen the snakes here before. It's also a good thing there is a signboard at the parking lot cautioning people about rattlesnake season.

Clean bathrooms for a public place. Also there are a ton of picnic tables and benches around the park which makes things easy for families who decide to grab lunch and want to chill out while their kids burn off some energy. No sand just wood chips and squishy mats for terrain and lots of things to climb and swing on. Bonus points for the wading pool.

I imagine the place can get pretty busy during the summer. There is a campground, as well as a picnic area and a small beach. Sand is a bit coarse, but it is great for chilling and looking across the lake.

Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park is a neat place to visit. When they had the huge fires in…read moreKelowna it ripped through this park. It has now been long enough that regrowth is in full swing. There are multiple lakes to check out along the trails here that are a nice break if you are hiking in the heat of the summer! There are lots of official trails and goat trails that you can explore and spend days here. Care has to be taken on the trails though when the wind picks up as there are a lot of unstable dead trees from the fires that could topple over and hurt you. There is a ton of wildlife here to experience as well. There are Mule and white tailed deer, mountain goats, black bears, chipmunks and rattle snakes to name a few. Always take care to watch your step in the heat of summer as a bite from a rattle snake can in rare cases lead to death but can really hurt and make it difficult to make it out of the bush. The park is pretty big with an area of 11,038 hectares protected. Hunting is allowed in the boarders of this park during hunting season so I would wear bright coloured clothing during that season for sure!

We went just passed the 2km mark from the Myra parking lot which is after the first tunnel. All in it was 5km round trip for us. At the parking lot you can rent bikes and there is also washrooms. The paths and trestles are wide enough for hikers and bikes. We definitely will come here again - maybe go a bit farther.

One of the highlights from our visit to the Kelowna area In June 2022. First, a mention of the 8 km…read moregravel road to get up to the Myra Canyon parking lot. We were able to drive up with our rental Toyota Corolla, but we did take it quite slowly as there were many potholes. The road was wide enough for 2 cars to pass along most of the route. Just before the parking lot, there were bike rentals/reservations recommended -- but we were planning to walk. Parking lot is quite large, but was close to full when we arrived around 11 am. The trail is well-maintained, wide, and is used by walkers and bikers. On our day there, the bikers included young children, couples on mountain bikes, adults on eBikes, and bikers participating in a bike race. Sharing the trail with the latter was unfortunate because they zoomed past us at high rates of speed and didn't observe the guidance that they needed to yield to walkers on the trestles (bridges). We walked a few hundred meters past the 4 km marker, at which point we turned back upon reaching a sizable puddle (and recognizing that we had to walk back!). Our total walk was 8 km plus (or exactly 6 miles). We walked over 11 trestles, numbered 18 to 8, and through two tunnels. Views of the canyon, and of Okanagan Lake in the distance, were beautiful. There were regular benches to stop to enjoy the views. There was a shelter, with a long bench at the 2.9 km mark. Pit toilets are at the parking lot and at the 4.0 km mark. There are also 3 picnic tables, with aggressive chipmunks, near 4.0.
