Mostly single track out the Bear Creek bluffs overlooking Kelowna. Ends at the start of some nice single track with a variety of features.

Access Info

This is the second segment of trails around the bluff above Bear Creek Park. It starts at the end of Orchard Inlet trail. Horses have chewed up the decent half way through so the track is pretty rutted and sandy, adding to the Blue rating, most of the trail is pretty green.

This trail is unsanctioned.
