🛤️The KVR Trail through Naramata is beautiful, but have you explored the South route along Skaha Lake?
🚲Taking the KVR trail south from Penticton is an absolute must. The trail follows the shore line of Skaha Lake and takes you through the town of Kaleden, where you can stop and view the historic Kaleden Hotel Park right off the path. You’ll also venture over the OK Falls trestle bridge which will lead you into the town of OK Falls.
🍦This is the perfect destination to stop for icecream at the original Tickleberry's location. TIckleberry's opened in OK Falls in 1990 and has 72 flavours of icecream to choose from, including sugar free options, and even some flavours that are made in house! We went with the sangria sorbet and the espresso flake, both which were super delicious! A perfect mid-ride treat before heading back to Penticton.
💚 Best of all, this adventure can be enjoyed completely fuel free! Don't miss this super fun and accessible ride on your next visit to Penticton.
