West Kelowna

West Kelowna is a vibrant city located on the western shores and hillsides of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia’s Southern Interior. With a population of around 40,000 residents, it blends rural charm with urban convenience and outdoor lifestyle opportunities. The city is renowned for its scenic wine trail, agricultural roots, and abundant recreational amenities, including beaches, boat launches, parks, and trails. West Kelowna supports a diverse economy featuring agriculture, construction, finance, light industry, tourism, and world-class wineries. It serves as a gateway to the Okanagan region from the west and shares a rich cultural heritage with the syilx/Okanagan people. Residents and visitors enjoy a balance of natural beauty, active recreation, and community spirit in this growing Okanagan city.

History

West Kelowna sits on the traditional, unceded territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) people who have lived in the valley for millennia. European fur traders passed through the region in the early 1800s along the Hudson’s Bay Company Brigade Trail, and by the late 19th century settlers had established farms, cattle ranches and fruit orchards. The community grew around its agricultural roots, originally known as Westbank for its position on the west bank of Okanagan Lake. Over time the town expanded and modernized, becoming the District of West Kelowna in 2007 and later achieving city status in 2015. Today, West Kelowna blends its heritage of orchards and Indigenous culture with contemporary development and regional community life.

Parks and Outdoor Recreation

Enjoy scenic landscape includes forests, vineyards and over 20 kilometres of shoreline on Okanagan Lake. Public parks along the lake and creeks provide abundant outdoor recreation. Bear Creek Provincial Park (southwest of town) features lakeside camping, a long sandy beach and trails through a wooded canyon. Closer to the city, Gellatly Nut Farm Regional Park preserves a historic nut orchard by the waterfront, with picnic areas and lagoon trails. Shannon Lake Park and Rose Valley Regional Park offer hiking trails, wetlands and forested paths inland. Together, these parks, beaches and waterfront paths make West Kelowna a popular destination for hiking, boating, swimming and picnicking in a natural setting.

Hiking and Trails

Explore the breath taking hills, canyons and vineyards. One popular route is the Mount Boucherie trail  a roughly 6 km loop ascending an extinct volcano to a summit viewpoint with panoramic views of the lake and valley. Other trails follow scenic waterways and canyons. For example, the Bear Creek Canyon Trail in Bear Creek Park and the Crawford Canyon Trail at Shannon Lake Park both lead past waterfalls and steep rock walls.

The flat, multi-use Okanagan Rail Trail runs through the region, connecting West Kelowna with neighboring communities for cycling and walking. A pedestrian and bicycle path on the William R. Bennett Bridge also allows hikers and cyclists to cross between West Kelowna and downtown Kelowna on paved paths.
