Rail History
The CN Rail line was constructed in 1925 to bring the produce and lumber of the Okanagan Valley to markets across the country. The line served the communities of Campbell Creek, Kamloops, Vernon, Coldstream, Lake Country, Okanagan Indian Band and Kelowna.
Challenged with high costs and low revenues, in September 2013 CN Rail began the formal process of discontinuing the rail line running from Lumby Junction in Coldstream to Kelowna. In 2016, a two- year community fundraising campaign along with several grants raised the $7.8 million that was needed to develop the trail.

Wonderful footage. We hope to get out to that area this summer/fall to ride your BC trails. If you don't mind me asking, you (seem) to have some type of bracket that you can clamp your drone controller to the bike handle bars. If this is correct, do you have any recommendations?...... Thanks - Doug
Hi Doug! Thank you for watching this one. We highly recommend riding the Okanagan Rail Trail and, as well, the Kettle Valley Rail Trail in the area, especially riding the KVR section called Myra Canyon. Absolutely stunning with the 18 trestles and tunnels. We'll have a video out soon from our fall ride here. For the drone controller handle bar mount, we purchased through Amazon. Works great with the stock DJI Air2S controller. www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07DC6T5B5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also, if you have the RC2 controller, here's the mount for this www.amazon.ca/Remote-Controller-Adjustable-Bicycle-Compatible/dp/B0CGQXPZX1/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3KHHISOIWT842&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.n8B4BLbRqwnFX8rBxFOCZh2Ka-lcL8TYJwQsIxEBaansS-K2lf7h56854DZZcj5FmnQTrnt6BEVWwk75H9pcLe13Gc6wtd0KugfCrQ8X9aQatyLbZxlSNXl1HJIMn3Kh4-sll3bCc3NVxK2_B9iGzYleyKZgAPLpLi1LkXmysba6jKxAL7bzwDRaWwvFvZeeIFUUTcLuryjS5GXUiCNRbEv0KaMir8aKb1dnAfBI1OiuW78wPb2EZ4fslNWafqTbXPz51HXTYDq53JlD8XTFWl5IVYhGJBcIx9DQprZ2llo.AmPoyVgkGH8At1Y_x3Uv0LQyoXQS9zzxCAbK2Lk7kTI&dib_tag=se&keywords=bike+mount+for+dji+rc+pro+controller&qid=1711480796&sprefix=bike+mount+for+dji+rc+pro+controlle%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-5
Thanks again Doug and all the best to for upcoming adventures! Tom & Suzanne
Perfect - Thanks very much. We will keep our eye out for your upcoming Myra Canyon video. We were aware of this ride and it's on our list of ones to do while in your area. We're out of central Canada, but plan to be in your corner of the world as part of a larger e-bike tour this fall. As long as the smoke doesn't get to bad......;)
Thanks again for the link......
@@airstream2525that's great Doug. If you have time, we also recommend the Penticton to Naramata section of the KVR. Its a great e-bike ride with amazing views of Okanagan Lake. The distention for most is Little Tunnel, easily reachable from downtown Penticton where you can access the rail trail. Along the ride, there are many wineries, a brewery and Little tunnel is the highlight for sure. A few KM's north of Little Tunnel is the Adra Tunnel, currently under restoration. Another gem and should be open by the summer of 2024. The longest tunnel on the KVR line. BTW, we have done several rail trail videos, the most recent is the Penticton to Little Tunnel ride. Video here: ruclips.net/video/JVthFDF46nE/видео.htmlsi=hpNBtcX96YlIx5Fd We have a full playlist of all our rail trail adventures. ruclips.net/p/PLpbLHCrhJLGcjh2p8_ZUeqbk4sYcsFXK_&si=o4af4AJ9WOCQ2D13 Thanks again for coming along with us!
Fabulous info Guy's. Thanks very much to taking the time to give us these nuggets on (local) inside info..... Have a great day.!
Your very welcome, any time!@@airstream2525
Drone flight footage beautiful
Thank you for watching our journey! Happy trails ahead! T&S
Love the Rail Trail. We’re planning on doing this in the summer. Can’t wait
It'a great rail trail for sure 👍, highly recommend doing it with ebikes if you can. Enjoy whenever you go! Thanks for coming along with us. 🚲
Great video folks. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Dan, thank you for commenting and watching this one! T&S.👋
he was really great about explaining how the bikes worked. Looked really fun, we will have to try this one day
Nice to hear from you guys! Absolutely, we highly recommend renting e-bikes from Cory at Oyama E-bike and Board. Thanks for coming along and watching our video. T & S 😀
Love my Electric Fat Bike. Great video.
Thank you for coming along with us.👋 What make and model of E Fat Bike are you riding and have you ridden the Okanagan Rail Trail before? Cheers! T&S
We have a couple Radrunners from Rad Power Bikes. WE LOVE THEM! We are huge promoters of ebikes. They're a ton of fun. Awesome video!
Hi Andrew! Thanks you for watching and sharing the ebike brand info. 👌The Radrunners look like a great bike! We totally agree, ebikes are amazing. In another video, we purchased these EFB models build to our specs. We'll be covering more video adventures using our new ebikes. Have a great one and amazing road trips ahead! 👋Tom & Suzanne
Of course Cory is a great guy! He’s a packers fan.
On a serious note, we did our first e-bike ride on the rail trail last weekend, rented at Kal Lake. It was a blast. Wish I had seen this before as Kayln’s bikes are on my radar and would have loved to rent one of his from the packers fan!
Looking forward to meeting up with Kayln in September and your videos have made the decision easier.
Thank you so much for the comments! That's terrific to hear about enjoying your first e-bike experience. We are glad to hear that our videos helped in your e-bike search. We assume you have seen our story about the EFB and Kaylan help with our purchase. If not, here's the video link and thank you again for watching our videos! ruclips.net/video/FYK8X0DM8SE/видео.html Tom & Suzanne
Love your videos !
Thank you so much for coming along with us! T&S
I picked up one of these, great value, great service!
Awesome! Thanks for the comment and which model did you end up renting?
@@HappyTrailsAdventures I bought the 750 watt black stepover! Very impressed so far! I should have investigated further, I would have upgraded the battery when I bought it, the one it came with is just fine…just wanted that little extra range! So much fun!
When I bought it I also bought the bike rack, he assembled it for me and even showed me how to properly secure it! Awesome service!
@@underscr0e the 750s are super nice, the black is amazing color choice! We agree, it would be better with a larger amp hour battery to give you extended range. So far we are loving ours. Enjoy your upcoming adventures and see you out on the trails! T&S
I absolutely loved having my e-bike when I was in the Prescott National Forest last year --- except when I lost the trail and had to lug that thing up the side of a mountain, through a barbed wire fence, and walked it back to camp with two flat tires. LOL. We put the slime in the tires so that NEXT TIME the tires won't go flat. Besides barbed wires there are too many things in the desert with spines and the tires on both our e-bikes and our pedal bikes get so many flats. And, if you ride an e-bike with a flat, there's a high chance that the tire will fall off the wheel, so don't do! Glad to see you get the chance to experience e-bike riding. Definitely do your research before you buy any cause they're definitely NOT all the same as far as quality goes.
EDIT: The Avenza Maps app saved my life when I got lost. This let me pre-save the area maps, so even without internet or phone service, I could GPS my way back to the nearest marked road.
Excellent information about your E-Bike experiences and Advenza. Thanks for sharing!
2021 Mates! Feels good to watch this today. This enjoyable scenes! blockbuster grade Good good footage! i like how you ended your video
Hi Louis! Welcome and thank you for watching the video. We are happy that you enjoyed the Okanagan Rail Trail adventure. Stay tuned for more places and adventures to come. Have a great day ahead! 😀 T&S
Awesome video guys ! I was wondering where to rent the e-bikes so this video was great. Great scenery and drone footages. Well done ! Cheers, Eddie
Hi Eddie! Thank you for coming along with us and for the compliments. Glad we were able to help with where to rent E-Bikes. They have a great location and next to the rail trail. Take care and keep up the great work on your channel! Tom and Suzanne.
Wow... This is absolutely stunning, beautiful trail & lake. I booked a campsite at Kekuli Bay Provincial Park & will be there this July.....thanks for sharing this beautiful place
You're very welcome and enjoy your time at Kekuli Bay and the rail trail. Highly recommend e-bikes or renting them Oyama e-bike and board. Have fun and thank you for watching our video! T&S😀
Folks this trail is absolutely marvelous, shots are fantastic. This whole place looks amazing!🔥🔥
Hi Ervin! Thank you very much for the comments and watching this one. Have a great week ahead and keep up the great work on your channel! T&S
Liked #18, electric bike sounds like a great idea for covering larger grounds. I have an electric scooter, the difference is that if the battery dies on the electric bike, you have the option to ride it back! It was cool of Corey to offer AAA version for electric bike! Oh the water is etra emerald from the aerial view than on the ground level. Totally cool that your drone has follow me mode. You are using Mini 3 Pro or Air2 or Air2Pro? I dent you some information about EU rules and laws on the reply comment, more of links. One is official EU drone, the other is UVA Ciach, they are also great. I recommend never go by youtubers on what they know or think they know of rules!!! Either go straight to the source or licensed sites ONLY!!!
"I'm not going back to regular bike!" Haha 😄
Thanks for the EU drone tips and info! We were flying the DJI Air2S for this video. Cory is a great guy to offer trailside assistance, he's a great guy! We are so looking forward to buying e-bikes, still researching.
Hey T&S - nice to see the beautiful video shots of one of our favorite rides in the area. The colorful cliffs and turquoise water make for some stunning scenery for sure. Curious if you ended up buying e-bikes for yourselves?
Hi Les & Rob, thank you for watching the video! We agree with you, Kal Lake corridor and the rail trail are a favorite for us too. We were ecstatic about our first time on e-bikes, truly a game changer for us😄. We have not purchased e-bikes yet, but soon. Need to research a bit further. We especially enjoyed the fat tires e-bikes rented at Oyama E-Bike & Board, they were perfect for the rail trail and for long distance covered. Super comfy ride. When we do decide on the type of e-bike, it will be nice to do a video and share the decision and what we do end up with😁. Keep in touch, look forward to connecting with you one day. T&S
I need a ebike .Great drone footage of the trail
Totally agree, we need to get a set of e-bikes soon. If you are ever in the area, we highly recommend e-biking this trail! Thanks for watching. T&S.
It will be awhile since I'm in fridigid Mongolia minus 40 this week so I am thinking of warm weather . Maybe you can do a video on how you choose the right ebike for you .
Stay warm! Excellent idea and, yes, we”ll plan to do a video on how we choose our e-bikes. Still researching.
Having traveled on the highway numerous times over the years there was always the beauty of Kalamalka Lake but doing this on e- bikes on the okanagan rail trail makes for a totally different experience.That trail is in good condition and is fun to travel what I seen in the video the drone shots are great and gives one a good view of the area also of the bike riders. The info for people interested renting a e-bike was good and useful.Well the new video is fun to watch looking forward to the next one!
Thank you for the comments and we appreciate that you enjoyed the experience! T&S👍😀🥰
Wow.....fantastic footage! Looking forward to this summer in the Okanagan, so much to do. Thank you for posting your adventures. Maybe we'll cross paths, either on the lake or biking the Okanagan !
Hi Aaron! Thank you for coming along with us and watching our videos. You are coming to an amazing place, so much to see and do in the summer time, keep in touch! T&S
Have the obstacles sensor avoided all the tiny branches and leaves around the trees whether it is follow me mode or manually flying???
On the rail trail adventure, we flew the DJI Air2s and yes, the obstacle avoidance worked perfectly around the branches with leave on them, both in active track ( follow me mode ) as well as manually. However, during winter flying, our experience with obstacle avoidance turned on and flying near the tiniest of branches ( twigs ), it a 50/50 chance of hitting. Hope that helps :)
