The Kettle Valley Rail Trail from Penticton to Midway is one of Canada's most-loved off-pavement tours: 214 km of historic rail grade through Naramata's benchlands, up past Chute Lake, through the Kelowna highlands and Beaverdell, and down to Midway. Access points all along mean you can ride anything from 11 km to the whole thing. The grades stay gentle, but surfaces vary from smooth to rough and sandy, and services thin out in the middle, so plan your days around the towns.
