The Myra Canyon section of the Kettle Valley Railway trail is one of the finest rail trail experiences in Canada — an 18-kilometre out-and-back route along the old KVR roadbed through a dramatic mountain canyon above Kelowna, crossing 18 wooden trestles and two tunnels as it traverses the cliff faces above Okanagan Lake. The views from the trestles, looking down into the canyon and across the lake, are spectacular.
The trail is mountain-accessible by bicycle or on foot; cyclists can rent bikes at Myra Station or bring their own. The approach from Kelowna takes about 40 minutes by car (the road up to Myra Station is unpaved and rough — a higher-clearance vehicle is helpful). The trail itself is mostly flat, making it accessible to casual cyclists. Allow three to four hours for the full return trip by bicycle. The tunnels are unlit, so bring a torch.
