Canyon Falls Park, trail closes Tuesday

Canyon Falls Park and trail, leading down to Bellevue Creek, will be closed in its entirety on Tuesday for park work.

“In addition to restoring the slopes and regrading sections of trail to improve trail safety, we’ll be improving access for trail users,” said Andrew Gibbs, City of Kelowna project manager. “We’re adding in new stairs, walls and guardrails, as well as benches. Additionally, we are installing fencing and signage to deter people from climbing on steep slopes and creating rogue trails that are damaging the environment of this sensitive canyon landscape.”

The lower trail access, near Crawford Estates, has been closed to the public since April due to high water levels and will remain closed.

Scheduled trail upgrades to improve access to the falls and minimize erosion are expected to be completed this summer. Hikers and cyclists will continue to have access to the rim trail above the Canyon.
