Pelmewash Parkway – Okanagan Rail Trail Loop, Lake Country. A scenic 17.5 km loop trail that encircles Wood Lake, great for walking and cycling. West side of the lake, adjacent to the Pelmewash Parkway road, is paved. East side of the lake, trail surface is compact aggregate on Okanagan Rail Trail South side of the lake is on-road along Woodsdale Road, crossing Highway 97 at Oceola Road intersection. Turn right on Pretty Road (past Tim Hortons). At bottom of Pretty Road, multi-use path continues under Highway 97 and joins Pelmewash Parkway trail. Along the path are interpretive signs, bike repair stands, picnic tables, benches, beaches, and enclosed dog runs. Eating stops at Turtle Bay Pub in Winfield, Gatzke Orchard and Okanagan Food truck in Oyama. E-Bike rentals at Gatzke Orchard. Ample parking along west and north sides of Wood Lake.
Very nice trail. Especially east side (Okanagan Rail Trail). Section through Woodsdale is not marked at all. I had a problem to reach Highway, cross it and reach the west trail side. West trail side has the asphalt, it is much faster anf more busy. Anyway I like the trail and will come back again. I'd like to add that lake was still covered with very thin layer of ice.
Bit boring, nice and flat, didn't do full loop. Good for kids and people with not great fitness levels.
Easy, relaxing bike ride around Wood Lake. Beautiful scenery and an enjoyable trail.

Amazing area for Spring flowers, Balsam Root and Saskatoon bushes in bloom until mid May, followed by Lupins and many other wild flowers. Great trails, easy for the whole family and spectacular views of three lakes from Summit Lookout. A choice you will not regret!
