The British Columbia Tourism Website Network and FROG Internet have prepared and documented our experiences, knowledge and much of our current ongoing research about the Parks system and hiking-walking trail networks available in the Okanagan Valley located in the interior of the province of British Columbia, Canada.

The National, Provincial and Regional Wilderness Parks located here in the Okanagan Valley are visited by millions every year. A legacy of parks proudly preserved for generations to come so all will enjoy the therapeutic qualities a protected and well establish park system can provide.

Many of the listed parks are popular destinations for the avid outdoor person. Hiking, backpacking, caving, mountain climbing, kayaking, canoeing, mountain biking, water skiing, snow skiing, horseback riding and swimming are just some of the activities enjoyed while visiting many of the Okanagan parks. Photographers, writers and artists also flock to the parks for a chance to capture a special wilderness moment.

The Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park is one of the larger parks of the area best accessed from the community of Naramata, BC at the park's southern trail entry point or from Kelowna to the north. The park is filled with wilderness campsites lining the shores accesses by boat and covers over 11,000 hectares. The ecological preservation effort is also prevalent in the area as in the South Okanagan Grasslands Provincial Park near Osoyoos.

The South Okanagan Grasslands Protected Area in the park protects the dry grasslands and open forests which is one of the four most endangered ecosystems in Canada. Chopaka East and Chopaka West, Mt. Kobau and Kilpoolaand Mountains are all known Canadian sites under protection because the lands preserve at least three plant species and provides the habitat for many endangered animals including birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

To venture out and explore any of the Okanagan Valley Parks and trails is always a great adventure. These parks are also home to wildlife so there are many opportunities to view Black Bears, owls, falcons, hawks, mountain goats, moose, wapiti, Great Blue Heron, swans, Grizzly Bear, wolverine, badger and so much more.
