Powers Creek trail

Access to the trail network begins near the end of Blue Jay Drive in West Kelowna. The dirt path descends into a steep-sided ravine, following the water flow for several kilometres through dense pine and Douglas fir stands. Hikers navigate a series of dirt tracks that crisscross the slopes above the water.

Powers Creek trail provides a heavily shaded route during the hot Okanagan summer months. The terrain varies from wide, flat sections to narrow, root-covered climbs along the ravine edge.

Spring runoff brings heavy water flow through the gorge, making the sound of the creek a constant background noise. Mountain bikers frequently ride the upper ridges, requiring pedestrians to share the narrow paths.
