Swan Lake and the historic Grey Canal near Vernon form a loop of 1.3 to 27 km. The lake is a birdwatching favourite, and the canal, once the Okanagan's most ambitious irrigation project, now carries a trail through farmland and forest with wide valley views. The full loop climbs more than you might expect.
