Pelmewash Parkway

Pelmewash Parkway, once a busy stretch of Highway 97, has been transformed into a beautiful and peaceful destination that provides safe public access to and along the waterfront of Wood Lake. This unique corridor promotes healthy lifestyles, with recreation and social opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. It also protects and enhances the natural habitat, supports economic and cultural development, connects trail networks, and strengthens communities.

 

Enjoy the paved multi-use pathway on a continuous route from Winfield to Oyama along the West side of Wood Lake, connecting to the Okanagan Rail Trail at the North end and to Pretty Road at the South end.

Spion Kop

View the Spion Kop trail map developed by the volunteer community group - Walk Around Lake Country (WALC). This group of active citizens maintains many of the trailheads and walking trails on public land.

 

There are 420 acres on the south west side of Spion Kop that are privately owned. Please respect the No Trespassing and No Motorized Vehicle signs. 

 

The land on Spion Kop is owned by the Province of BC. To report issues you may contact the conservation officer 24-hour hotline to report a violation: 1-877-952-7277 or #7277 on the TELUS Mobility Network.

You can also use the online form to report issues to the Province. (https://forms.gov.bc.ca/environment/rapp/)

 

The view from the summit of Spion Kop is well worth the hike.
