Top Rated Parks to Visit in Kelowna

"With well-marked trails of varying distances, hikers can enjoy the quick and easy 15 minute Loop Trail or spend more time exploring the 1.4 km Mid Canyon Trail or the 2.5 km Canyon Rim Trail. Bear Creek features many look-out points, wildlife sightings, and a spectacular waterfall."

"A local set of waterfalls that ARE open though are the falls in Bear Creek Provincial Park. This gorgeous provincial park is packed full of awesome hiking trails and a beautiful campground. BUT the best part for photographers are the falls that cascade along the creek itself."

"Situated on the west side of Okanagan Lake, it is a provincial park in the city. The park also has a beach and good hiking trails and is often used for camping. There is a canyon also surrounding the park."

"Boyce-Gyro Beach, one of the most popular beach parks in Kelowna, is located 3.8 kilometers south of downtown. This is the longest beach within Kelowna's city limits. In addition to golden sand and warm water, you'll discover amenities to attract you to this 3.6-hectare park for a few hours or a whole day in the sun."

"This is a great family beach with tables, playground for the kids, volleyball courts and clean washrooms. They even have a zipline into the water. Address:3400 Lakeshore Road, Kelowna"

"Another one of the free things to do in Kelowna is to walk along Mission Creek Regional Park. They have a great walking path (or biking path) along the river so you get some great views of the water flowing while you step into nature. There are a few hiking paths outlined if you wish to go check our Turtle pond or other little hidden gems."

"This is a popular wedding venue for a reason, the lush flower beds and gardens make this one of the best places for photos. Plus, there’s no hiking involved!. And it’s just off Gordon so it’s easy to find."

"The small sandy beach at Strathcona Park is 2.1 kilometers south of downtown. This non-touristy local favorite near the Kelowna General Hospital is where families with small children appreciate the shallow water that extends out into the lake. The beach has a designated swimming area, and the water is warm for summer swims."

During the first part of the trek through the KLO Creek, hikers can admire the views of the canyon and the fascinating geological foundations."
