Glen Canyon Regional Park — Attraction in West Kelowna

Glen Canyon Park has 3 easy access points, and these photos cover 2 of one's closest to the Lake. The first one is very wheelchair accessible and has a nice walkway and bridge with a view point. Pretty level and nice view of the river. The second spot is about a 3 minute drive around the corner and nestled into the hillside. It has a nice little pond area where the salmon rest before going up river. Then there's a 5 min walk on fairly smooth ground that stops at a large set of stairs to the left and a broken path on the left that leads to the grotto. It's a short path but lots of roots and really narrow. It's a really awesome area with cliffs on either side. You can see where someone did some mining and cut holes into the hillside. Unfortunately I wasn't able to climb the stairs on this trip but I have walked the very top part of the park and that's a medium walk with lots of up and down and even a landslide that you have to crawl over. It has a sign on from 10 years ago that says don't cross over but I know lots of people that have. You need to be bear aware in this park since it's a spawning river and in the upper area I have seen bears digging for bees nests right beside the path. It's a really beautiful park if you want short walks or a...

In a deep canyon, so nice in the summer since it is pretty shady. Main trail runs along the creek with several off-shoots. Can be accessed from a number of locations including West Bank Town Park (across the field), at the end of Brown Road (past Truck 59 Ciderhouse) and several turnouts on Gellatly Road, and the gated parking lot on Gellatly. Each of these entrances does have some level of signage. Only toilets are at the Town Park. Dog friendly (leash required, please pick up after your pup- no one enjoys encountering their deposits!). If you go end to end, you will go up several steep staircases, and one bridge with a view to the creek below. Trail continues past Hwy 97 but has to be accessed on the other side (last time I was there, part of the trail there was blocked). In the spring when the creek is raging, there may be some...

Great hiking trail. So lovely to be in nature so close to the city. Would not be ideal for mobility issues, strollers, or small children on their own as there are lots of stairs and narrow paths with sometimes tricky footing (for littles), but our whole family loved it. It was beautiful hiking beside the creek and watching the falls from the bridge. We parked off the Gellatly entrance and hiked all the way to the splash pad/Julia's Junction playground for a midway picnic and...
