Walking trails in West Kelowna?
I am on the hunt for easy walking trails in West Kelowna. Not too far off the beaten track. Am looking for myself and my mom who is in her 80’s but pretty fit. However stairs or steep hills would be too much for her. We are looking for nice easy flat walking trails. With easy access. I remember years ago accessing one from Glenrosa when we were geo caching but for the life of me, I can’t remember how we got to it. Prefer trails over walking on cement. Can anyone suggest places for two old folks? Lol.

Right around gelattly rd. and the cove resort there's a path next to the lake. Paved, nice scenery.

Shannon lake is nice. There's a wide walking trail that goes around half of the lake. It starts at the parking lot off shannon lake road near alexandria way.

Oh of course yes. Perfect terrain for us too, and not on cement. Thank you.

Park at the end of Rosewood Dr and walk up the gravel road towards the reservoir. Although to make it up to the reservoir, there is a hill that is quite steep. About 1.5/2 km to the reservoir. Or, drive around to the far end, park near the end of Rose Valley Rd and hike in. Relatively flat with a few low slopes to contend with.

Re: Walking trails in West Kelowna?
Thanks for these suggestions. Does anyone live in Glenrosa or maybe knows of a hiking trail up there? It was one of my favourites but so many years ago, for the life of me I just can’t remember where it is or how to get there, and I am sure there is more than one in Glenrosa, thinking back to my geo caching days, we found so many on trails up there. I prefer to walk in the woods, rather than concrete sidewalks.

Glenrosa: Flume Trail? About 2 km. of relative flat trail along the old irrigation flume. Google it or look up RDCO IParks think.

If you are up for a short drive as well, Hardy Falls in Peachland is always nice but short too.
