| Description | This is an easy hike with a gorgeous view of Myra Canyon. There are several access points: 1) Myra: Follow K.L.O. Road to McCulloch Road, which you follow past the pavement. About 2 km after the pavement ends on the right is the Myra Forest Service Road. Follow this road for 8 km to the parking lot. The first trestle is a few hundred metres away. 2) June Springs: Follow K.L.O. Road to McCulloch Road and go right onto June Springs Road. June Springs Road turns into Little White Forest Service Road. The first trestle is 2 km away. 3) Chute Lake: Follow Lakeshore Road south from Kelowna and go straight onto Chute Lake Road. Turn left onto Hedeman Road and right onto Gillard Forest Service Road. The KVR crosses but looks like another dirt road. **Please be advised that signage in the area is poor. |

| Comments | Parking area is a dirt/gravel road and may not be level at certain portions. The main trail is usually level and well maintained. It is a mix of mostly dirt with some gravel. Should be mostly wheelchair accessible; adaptive equipment may not be necessary if staying on the main trail. However, the trail poses some natural dangers such as steep drop off points and potential for falling rocks. There are two pit toilets here, one of which is wheelchair accessible. There are 14 viewpoint benches located along the KVR Trail and the trestles themselves. Cell phone service may be sporadic along the trail, but may get one bar of service |
