Popular Off the Beaten Path | Other Off the Beaten Path Tips | All Tips (4) Here is a model of one of the trestles on the original Kettle Valley railway system, now open as a hike/bike path near both Kelowna and Penticton.
Several of the original full size trestles were burnt when the forest fire of 2003 swept over the hills above Kelowna. Leave a Comment

What better place to build a model railway and have it displayed for many to see. especially when the cargo space on the S.S. Sicamous was able to handle a large display.
The map of the original Kettle Valley railway system is shown on my Kelowna page, but the map is from the brochure of the Kettle Valley Railway Club who meet every Tuesday evening at 7.00pm at the S.S.Sicamous. My thanks to them for the brochure as well as the excellent model train set up. Leave a Comment Website: Sorry no web site available.

For a special wildlife-viewing experience, take a day to visit Vaseux Lake Provincial Park, south of Penticton on Hwy 97. Here, the Vaseux Lake Nature Trust operates the Vaseux Wildlife Centre in a multiagency cooperative project. In addition, there is a Canadian Wildlife Service wildlife sanctuary adjacent to the park and two Wildlife Management Units ensuring protection of critical bighorn sheep winter range. The cliffs surrounding the park include spring and winter range of California bighorn sheep, and the area is famous for bird-watching. Grasses, reeds, willows, and shrubs along the shore afford a home to many varieties of birdlife. Waterfowl, including trumpeter swans, widgeons, Canada geese, wood ducks, and blue-winged teal, are common. In spring, the beautiful lazuli bunting has been seen. Other bird species present include chukar partridge, wrens, swifts, sage thrashers, woodpeckers, curlews, and dippers. Mammal species found here include beavers, bats, cottontail rabbits, muskrats, deer, and mice. Rattlesnakes, toads, and turtles also live in this area. Considerable populations of largemouth bass, rainbow trout, and carp make their home in the water, and in winter, the frozen lake offers excellent conditions for ice fishing as well as other ice-related activities.
