Knox Mountain Park: Why We Live here


One of my favourite things to do in Kelowna and very popular with locals and tourists is hiking Knox Mountain. We decided to kick it into high gear and hike the Apex trail which is one of the more challenging trails to take on Knox. If you want to add a swim to the middle of your hike in the hot summer days, be sure to check out Paul's Tomb which leads you down to the lakefront. Enjoy your time in Kelowna and remember this is why we live here and why many people choose to call Kelowna home. 
Here is a YouTube of our snap shot of our adventure. 




Knox Mountain Park is one of the most prominent municipal parks in Kelowna. Centrally located within the city, it forms the largest contiguous park space in Kelowna and features approximately 1365 linear meters of waterfront on Okanagan Lake. 


Knox Mountain Facts:

-282 Hectares
-1365 Linear Miles of waterfront
-The Knox Mountain summit rises 646 m above sea level and approximately 300 m above the level of Okanagan Lake.
- Kathleen Lake is approximately 2 ha (5 acres)
- 16 Trails
- Dogs Allowed on Leash
