If you’re visiting the Okanagan, don’t miss the easy Hike-Bike-Trail ride along the Okanagan River Channel in Oliver.
Ride or walk the Hike & Bike pathway through vineyards, wetlands and bird habitat.
The 18 km trail is mostly paved through Oliver, south of Oliver towards Osoyoos is gravel. The Oliver Visitor’s Center has free parking and a nearby playground. At Road 22 there’s a parking lot and access to the Osoyoos Oxbows – a great birding site.
For a fun 40km loop ride continue onto Black Sage Road and visit a few wineries!
Extend your ride: Continue south toward the Osoyoos Oxbows for excellent birdwatching. Watch for osprey nests perched high on utility poles and enjoy the peaceful wetlands.
For two detailed Oliver cycling maps with turn-by-turn directions, points of interest and connecting routes, pick up a copy of Let’s Go Biking to the Okanagan & Beyond. Available in BC bookstores, bikeshops and gift shops or order book and ebook online at Let’s Go Biking Books.
