Okanagan Lake Views

A ride described in Let's Go Biking

How we describe routes →

Moderate One step up. Some real climbing, or a rougher surface.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

This Vernon loop runs 2.5 to 30 km, collecting Okanagan Lake views from waterfront parks, farmland, and climbing hillside roads, with historic stops along the way. The short version suits families; the full loop earns its viewpoints.
