Knox Mountain, rising directly from downtown Kelowna, offers quick-access laps ranging from rolling singletrack to jump-line descents, all with panoramic views over Okanagan Lake. Nearby Crawford is one of the region’s largest and most diverse riding areas, with over 150 km of trails winding through dry forest and rocky terrain. Gillard delivers shuttle-accessed expert freeride terrain, while Smith Creek and Rose Valley in West Kelowna offer fast, flowy descents and distinctive volcanic landscapes.

Kelowna's trails are on the unceded traditional Syilx territory, specifically on Westbank First Nation lands.
