Chute Lake — Naramata

23.6 Km

Start your adventure with an over night stay at the beautiful Chute Lake Lodge. Recently revamped and upgraded, this secluded lodge is the perfect combination of modern amenities and rustic history. Enjoy a return to nature, complete with wood-fire, comfort food and cabins. If you’re into fishing, you can cast a line into Chute Lake. This stretch of the KVR is beautiful, offering picturesque views of Okanagan Lake, world-famous vineyards and wineries, and a dash of history. Be aware of weather conditions affecting parts of the trail.

Explore both Little Tunnel and Adra Tunnel, both former train tunnels, and take those Instagram-worthy photos that will make everyone jealous. Check out the Rock Ovens Regional Park and imagine what the former miners, foresters and travellers had to do to make a good hot meal.  This unique experience is suitable for everyone and is worth everyone’s time.
