Welcome to Peachland

The Okanagan Valley welcomes visitors with beautiful mountains and lakes, orchards and wineries, and stunning vistas, but nowhere in the region exudes charm and character quite like Peachland.

Peachland’s downtown is dotted with quaint historic buildings, several of which have been restored in recent years, including the Historic Primary School (where you’ll find the Peachland Art Gallery) and the Little Schoolhouse, which in summertime houses local artists you can pop in to see busy at work. Soon Peachland’s unique eight-sided museum is also about to undergo a transformation that will restore it to its former glory. Slated to reopen in Summer 2024, the museum will showcase Peachland’s fascinating history and will also become the new home of the Peachland Visitor Centre.

While Peachland retains a distinct sense of small-town friendliness and charm, it’s also a growing community with new developments in the works throughout the town. New amenities continually appear in Peachland’s community spaces, from the outdoor fitness equipment, pickleball courts and skate park in Lambly Park to the community splash pad in Heritage Park.

Come to the Okanagan and experience Peachland’s charm for yourself.

Fur Brigade Trail

DISTRICT OF SUMMERLAND / FIRST NATIONS / CROWN LAND

This trail was used by fur traders in centuries past to transport their pelts from Northern B.C. to the Columbia River. The currently opened section of this historic trail extends from the South end of Peachland to Summerland with the always epic Antlers Saddle Lookout.

The Peachland section of this linear park rises for about 4km to the Peachland summit, with a 300m elevation gain. It is wide, well-maintained and well-marked, but there can be occasional loose gravel. It is a great pet-friendly family hike that offers panoramic views of the lake from Kelowna to Naramata.

In addition, it goes through the site of the Mount Eneas fire of August 2018; hikers can witness first-hand the ravages wrought by fire, as well as appreciate nature’s ability for rapid renewal.

From Hwy 97, take Hardy Street and follow it as it turns sharply left and becomes Thorne Road, a dirt road. Make another left turn onto Log Chute Road and follow this as it switches back and forth a few times. Park safely on the side of the road at the trailhead, which is marked. If you get to the orchards, you’ve gone too far!

Once on the trail, there are kilometre markers on the Fur Brigade that measure distance from Hardy Falls.

A detailed hike description is available at the visitor centre.

Stairway to Heaven

TO DISTRICT OF PEACHLAND

The trail head for Stairway to Heaven is off a cul de sac on Victoria Street and starts with a heart pounding 158 stairs, then a 1.5km hike that is generally flat. There are many great viewpoints along this short hike. It’s a great hike to get back in touch with nature when time is an issue.

Hardy Falls

RDCO

Hardy Falls Regional Park, named after Harry Hardy, who was one of the first orchardists on the Westside, is a six-hectare park located at the south end of Peachland. The flat walking trail follows the pristine Deep Creek leading to a picturesque waterfall. This route crosses seven bridges ending at a beautiful, secluded namesake waterfall. The boardwalk offers an extremely easy in and out route for all ages and abilities.

VICTORIA ST

September in the Okanagan brings spawning Kokanee salmon. Scores of landlocked Kokanee will travel upstream, returning by force of nature to their place of birth to lay eggs. During the spawning season, male and female salmon turn red, making them extremely visible in Deep Creek.

The trailhead is located on Hwy 97S in Peachland at Hardy Street. Turn off the highway on Hardy Street and travel along to the parking lot.

Trepanier Creek Trail

RDCO / DISTRICT OF PEACHLAND

Trepanier Creek Regional Park covers 4.35 hectares and is situated between the Okanagan Connector and Okanagan Lake in Peachland. It offers park visitors a natural forest trail bordering the canyon of Trepanier Creek.

Hiking and biking the trail system is the most popular activity within the park. Ensure you have appropriate clothing, footwear and equipment for activities on the trails. It also features activities for the whole family including birding, wildlife viewing and botany. Visitors will be able to explore through the Ponderosa Pine/Douglas Fir forest, meander about grasslands with rocky outcroppings and see visible remnants of the Trepanier Creek Dam.

Note that dogs must be kept on a leash on trails and pathways within park boundaries unless otherwise designated. As always, help protect park vegetation and wildlife by using only designated trails. Leave only footprints and take only pictures.

The trailhead is accessible via Clements Crescent (off Hwy 97 at the IGA) and is marked by Regional District signage. It can also be accessed at the mid trail entry or north parking for a less arduous start.

Pincushion Trail

DISTRICT OF PEACHLAND / WESTBANK FIRST NATIONS / RDCO

Pincushion Mountain Trail is probably the most well-known hike in Peachland. Visitors from across the globe have taken their obligatory selfies and photos on the mountain’s majestic summit.

The hike begins with stairs, carries on with switchbacks and has several steep sections, so proper footwear and even walking sticks are highly recommended though there are three main lookout points that allow you to rest before the summit.

These lookouts offer a brief glimpse into the highly anticipated panoramic views from the top; you might even see some deer, a garter snake or grouse. Upon reaching the summit, bask in the views, but don’t forget to sign your name in the guest book and take full advantage of a photo op with the Canadian flag - proof that you have officially become a Peachlander!

The trail in spring can be hard to see if there is patchy snow still on the ground. In winter and spring, the trail will be slippery. In summer when the trail is dry the gravel is slippery. Be careful. The trail is well travelled and there are trail markers - either bits of pink ribbon or old red signs high up on trees. Stay on the trail as much as possible. Be observant. It’s a totally worthwhile trek!

Bedford & Spring Lake Trails (Peachland Lookout)

CROWN LAND

The Bedford Trails are named after Wes Bedford, a long-time Peachland resident and retired pharmacist.

One of the most popular trails in the Bedford network is the Peachland Lookout trail. The easy-tomoderate trail leads to a spectacular view of Peachland and Okanagan Lake. The loop is about 5km, rising 130m, which takes about one-and-a-half hours to complete.

The trailhead starts at an obvious pullout on the Brenda Mines Rd., exactly .9km beyond the ZipZone. A large boulder marks the spot. The road turns to gravel at the top of Princeton Avenue. It can be rather rough but easily passible with a car.

Wilson Lakes – Ski & Snowshoe Trails

CROWN LAND

The Wilson Lakes snowshoe and cross-country ski trails are part of the valuable bank of natural resources Peachland can proudly promote. These trails were popular during the late 1960s and early 1970s when the Peachland Ski Club existed. Today the trails are still maintained by a few and being explored and rediscovered by a growing number.

Signage is now at the trailhead of the Wilson Lakes loop. There is a 37km trail system. Each trail head and junction is marked with colour-coded directional signs according to the ability required to ski it.

These are ungroomed wilderness trails. The trails are most suitable for winter use as many areas are too wet to hike in summer season.

The Wilson Lake Loop is a 5km beginner trail and Wilson Silver Trail is 8km long and rated intermediate.

The trails are also shared with those choosing to snowshoe. Signage indicates trail courtesy and etiquette rules for snowshoeing and skiers, as well as safety tips.

Be prepared for a wilderness experience with knapsack, water bottle, snack, and layered clothing. There are no amenities, equipment rentals, refreshments or cell phone access.

To reach the trail, turn up Princeton Avenue from Hwy 97 in Peachland and follow the road beyond where it turns to gravel. At the fork go right following the signs to Silver Lake Camp. Pass the turn off to Silver Lake. At 1.5km past the Silver Lake driveway is the entrance to Wes’s Trail to Wilson Mountain. Drive further, about another 3.5 to 4km to the Trailhead for Wilson Lake loops. Trail signage is at the trailhead, and not visible from the road, so watch for cars parked on the righthand side or watch for a clearing where power lines are visible. Walk in and cross the power line clearing to the trailhead.

Goats Peak Regional Park

RDCO

Goats Peak Regional Park is a 52-hectare park with stunning views and sports trails along a rocky landscape of grassland and open woodland rising up from the shores of Okanagan Lake just outside Peachland’s boundary. The park provides beautiful views of Okanagan Lake, hiking trails, many unique ecosystems protecting plants and animals and a conservation area for shore spawning Kokanee.

The lands around Goats Peak hold significant value to the

Okanagan First Nations people. In the 1800s early European settlers used nearby lands as a means of transporting goods for the Hudson’s Bay Company. The park’s name comes from angora goats that were grazed by the Gellatly family in the area a century ago.

Enter the park on Seclusion Bay Road near the exits to Highway 97C (Okanagan Connector).

Dogs are welcome on-leash along trails and pathways within park boundaries.
