One of the most significant parks in the valley, Knox Mountain is located in the north end of downtown Kelowna. A valley gem, the park offers magnificent views of the mountain ranges, Okanagan Lake and downtown Kelowna. A variety of trails provide perfect conditions for all-seasons sporting activities, keeping this park active year-round. In the winter, cross country skiing and snowshoeing are well-represented, but also expect to encounter locals walking, running, hiking and pedalling their way through paradise.

Trails are suited for every level of experience but our go-to trek is more of a leisurely stroll than an actual hike. We enjoy vagabonding the two-kilometre trail that passes Paul’s Tomb on the way to Paul’s Tomb Beach.
