Trail of the Okanagans ~ TOTO

Imagine Your Journey

Imagine cycling the length of the Okanagan Valley—from the shores of Mara Lake in Sicamous to the warm desert landscape of Osoyoos, with rail trails, lakeside pathways, quiet country roads and welcoming communities linking the journey together.

The Trail of the Okanagans (TOTO) is a long-term vision to create one of Canada’s premier cycling corridors, connecting communities throughout the valley with safe, scenic routes for residents and visitors alike.

More than a Trail

The Trail of the Okanagans is a shared vision of communities working together to:

• connect towns with safe cycling routes
• support local businesses and cycle tourism
• encourage active transportation
• celebrate the Okanagan’s landscapes and vineyards
• create unforgettable multi-day cycling experiences

Ready to ride …

Several outstanding sections of the Trail of the Okanagans are already open, including:

Each completed section brings the overall vision one step closer.

As more sections are completed, the vision becomes increasingly achievable.

Looking Ahead

The Trail of the Okanagans reflects exactly the kind of collaboration taking place across British Columbia.

Local governments, tourism organizations, cycling groups and community volunteers are working together to create connected, welcoming routes that encourage people to explore communities by bike.

Every new section brings the vision closer to reality. Today you can already ride outstanding portions of the corridor—from SNORT and the Okanagan Rail Trail to Myra Canyon, Penticton and Osoyoos. As remaining gaps are filled, multi-day touring through the entire valley becomes increasingly achievable.

Cycle from vineyard to vineyard.

Watch the sunrise over Kalamalka Lake.

Float the Penticton Channel after your ride.

Spend a week discovering one of Canada’s most diverse cycling destinations.

That’s the experience the Trail of the Okanagans is helping to create.
