Knox Mountain Park
A hillside park just north of central Kelowna. From the summit you can look out over the city, its bridge and Okanagan Lake.
Knox Mountain is Kelowna’s most popular urban hiking spot. From the foot of the mountain, the summit lookout is about 30 to 45 minutes’ walk away. Along the way, the Apex viewpoint offers views over the city, the William R. Bennett Bridge and the winding lakeshore. Those with good fitness can continue to Paul’s Tomb, a small bay on the lake. The scenic drive is open to vehicles at certain times in summer, and the park is free. Summer afternoons are hot and have no shade, so it is best to go in the early morning or evening, bring plenty of water, and watch for signs warning of rattlesnakes.
