Bear Creek Provincial Park is a popular family-friendly walking trail that loops around a waterfall gorge. With its lower elevation and proximity to Kelowna, it is accessible throughout the entire year.
The trail climbs in elevation until it reaches the mouth of the river gorge, crosses a bridge and follows the other side back.
For the wet off the beaten path version, walk up the river into the gorge for a close up view of the waterfall (river fording / swimming required).
