About Okanagan Rail Trail, Lake Country Trailhead
The former CN railway corridor now serves as a continuous gravel route connecting local communities. The Okanagan Rail Trail, Lake Country Trailhead provides direct access to the northern section of this 50-kilometre path. From this starting point, the route skirts the shoreline of Wood Lake, offering unobstructed views of the water and surrounding hillsides.
Cyclists, runners, and walkers share the wide pathway. Because the grade remains under two percent, it accommodates a wide range of fitness levels. The surface consists of compacted crushed aggregate, which holds up well for bicycles with medium to wide tires.
Morning fog often rolls off the lake during early hours, while afternoon winds pick up near the water. The path operates daily from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM, giving users plenty of daylight to cover the distance toward the Kelowna city limits or head north toward Coldstream.
