Every ride starts at our door at 950 Lakeshore Drive West, on Okanagan Beach, so you do not need a car, a bike rack or a trailhead parking spot. Distances are round trip from the shop, and times assume an easy e-bike pace with stops.
Not sure which ride fits your day? Call us and we will plan it with you.
Easy: Under 20 km on paths, bike lanes, quiet roads or gentle rail-trail grade, with one short climb at most. Book 2 hours or a half day.
Moderate: 35 to 45 km, with a long steady climb or stretches of road riding. Book the full day.
Challenging: Over 60 km with the biggest climbs on this page. Book the full day, start at 9 am, and carry food, water and a light.
The KVR from Penticton past Little Tunnel and the Adra Tunnel to Chute Lake is open. Until late fall 2026, cyclists take a short signed bypass around bridge work at Robinson Creek, before the Adra Tunnel.
The KVR on snpink’tn land toward Summerland and along Skaha Lake to Kaleden has been closed since June 10, 2026 for rockfall and sinkholes, with no reopening date. None of these routes use it, and the channel path is open.
Pedal-assist e-bikes like ours are welcome on the whole Naramata section. Riders must be 16 or older, and helmets are the law in BC; one comes with every rental.
North of Little Tunnel, expect sandy stretches and the odd ATV or dirt bike. Keep right, say hello when you pass walkers, and give horses room.
Penticton is one of the driest cities in Canada. Carry more water than you think you need and start early in July and August.
On smoky days, check the air quality; we move bookings when the smoke rolls in. Most tasting rooms close at 5 pm.
About 3.5 km. Ride east along Lakeshore Drive and up Vancouver Avenue to the trailhead at Vancouver Place, under ten minutes on an e-bike.
Little Tunnel is about 19 km from our shop. Plan on 1.5 hours up at an easy pace, an hour back down, and 3.5 to 4.5 hours in total with photo and brewery stops.
A fit rider who leaves at 9 am and skips the stops can do it in four hours, but it is tight. Book the full day and enjoy the wineries on the way back.
Yes, on a full-day e-bike rental. The lodge is about 45 km up the KVR from our shop, with nearly 900 m of climbing on the way there and a mostly downhill ride home. Start at 9 am, ride the climb in Eco, and plan on about 3.5 hours up and 2.5 back. Bring a light for the Adra Tunnel. The lodge has bike racks and packs picnic lunches; call ahead to check the kitchen is open.
The Naramata side is open: Penticton to Naramata, Little Tunnel, Rock Ovens, the Adra Tunnel and Chute Lake. Until late fall 2026, a bridge project at Robinson Creek means a short signed bypass before the Adra Tunnel. The sections on snpink’tn land north-west toward Summerland and south along Skaha Lake to Kaleden have been closed since June 2026 with no reopening date. We update the note on this page monthly.
No. Every route on this page starts at our door on Okanagan Beach. You do not need a bike rack, a trailhead parking spot or a shuttle.
Start with the River Channel Path or the Lake to Lake Route: flat, paved and away from traffic. If that feels good, KVR to the Wineries is the natural next ride, and it is the one most of our first-timers take.
Yes. Our bikes are pedal-assist e-bikes, which are welcome on the trail. Riders must be 16 or older to rent an e-bike, and helmets are required by law in BC. They are included with your rental.
For every route on this page, yes, if you use Eco or Tour mode on the climbs. Little Tunnel and back is 38 km, well inside a full charge. The Adra Tunnel (about 65 km) and Chute Lake Lodge (about 90 km) are the long days: ride those climbs in Eco and you will have charge for the ride home, which is mostly downhill.
Yes. The Naramata Bench has more than 40 wineries, and several sit right beside the KVR. Most tasting rooms close at 5 pm and the busy ones take reservations in July and August. Pick two or three, order flights, and ride sober.
Yes. Every rental includes route planning at the counter, and we load your ride onto your phone before you leave. You can also tap View Route on any tile and save the map offline.
