The KVR trail from Penticton to Osoyoos is currently doable only in sections. There is no bridge across the Okanagan River south of Vaseaux Lake. There are sections of rail bed that are under dipsute by land owners, the section around Oliver is not usuable as per the track but there is the nearby International Hike and Bike Trail that runs adjacent to the Okanagan River. Trails BC has a map that shows what is currently doable, which includes road and highway segments.
