Great little hike in the city. You can bike on the trail. It’s a nice hike by the mission creek. Probably around 1.5 h to go to the very end of the trail. I think end of the trail was closed due to flooding in the past. People on the trail were saying they saw some bears, so keep your eyes open 😊

I am unfortunately not from Kelowna however wish I was. Great effort has very apparently been made to make every corners of the city enjoyable (except Harvey on rush hour and the lack of turn left arrow at street lights). What a great little pathway along a creek. Clean, flat and wide. When the fall colors come, the whole path is a colorful corridor. It was a great find i didn't know existed and will become a frequent stop. In case someone running the place reads this, I went with my daughter that uses a modified for trails wheelchair and her tires were flat. The little mount by the parking lot that has a tire pump, well the pump doesn't work at all. Perhaps worth fixing

Well maintained paths most of the way. The north side path (closer to road entrances) is good for bikes and goes the entire length. If you cross the bridge to the south, the path ends part way in some areas and becomes more rocky, better for walking/hiking. It can get a little muddy after rainy days and after the snow melts. Definitely recommend for casual bike rides in the Fall to see the foliage. Probably need strong mosquito protection closer to the summer months. I hope to explore the entire length (Canyon to Lakeshore) at some point this year. There's Creekside Pub at the end of the greenway if you need a beer stop.
