The Okanagan Rail Trail is a place of legacy, connections, discovery and enjoyment. It is a public space with the potential to be world class. Every person who uses or appreciates the trail has the opportunity to be a friend to the trail – to use the trail respectfully, and to give back to make the trail the best it can be.
