I imagine the place can get pretty busy during the summer. There is a campground, as well as a picnic area and a small beach. Sand is a bit coarse, but it is great for chilling and looking across the lake.

The look out point has a bench where you can sit and take in the spectacular view of the lake. So beautiful. Unfortunately the dry weather and previous fires have left its mark. You can still see burnt trees. On the trail there are Saskatoon berries too. Spider webs and other wildlife. We were lucky not to encounter any rattlesnake along the way. My friend has seen the snakes here before. It's also a good thing there is a signboard at the parking lot cautioning people about rattlesnake season.

The park has signs saying "no dogs allowed" (possibly just on the deck?), but I saw plenty of people with their dogs along the shore. There are also benches where you can sit, relax, and take in the view and breeze. There's a zipline deck that looks like a lot of fun, especially in the summer! I'm not exactly sure what you hold onto while ziplining, but it seems like a great little thrill before splashing into the water. Just a heads-up--the jumping deck isn't connected to the main deck, so you'll have to swim to it. Be prepared to get wet before ziplining!

We went just passed the 2km mark from the Myra parking lot which is after the first tunnel. All in it was 5km round trip for us. At the parking lot you can rent bikes and there is also washrooms. The paths and trestles are wide enough for hikers and bikes. We definitely will come here again - maybe go a bit farther.

We were able to drive up with our rental Toyota Corolla, but we did take it quite slowly as there were many potholes. The road was wide enough for 2 cars to pass along most of the route. Just before the parking lot, there were bike rentals/reservations recommended -- but we were planning to walk. Parking lot is quite large, but was close to full when we arrived around 11 am. The trail is well-maintained, wide, and is used by walkers and bikers. On our day there, the bikers included young children, couples on mountain bikes, adults on eBikes, and bikers participating in a bike race. Sharing the trail with the latter was unfortunate because they zoomed past us at high rates of speed and didn't observe the guidance that they needed to yield to walkers on the trestles (bridges). We walked a few hundred meters past the 4 km marker, at which point we turned back upon reaching a sizable puddle (and recognizing that we had to walk back!). Our total walk was 8 km plus (or exactly 6 miles). We walked over 11 trestles, numbered 18 to 8, and through two tunnels. Views of the canyon, and of Okanagan Lake in the distance, were beautiful. There were regular benches to stop to enjoy the views. There was a shelter, with a long bench at the 2.9 km mark. Pit toilets are at the parking lot and at the 4.0 km mark. There are also 3 picnic tables, with aggressive chipmunks, near 4.0.

On the way up to the course there are a lot of wonderful wineries, so you can treat yourself to a tasting after working up a sweat. Parking and signage here is very limited. We parallel parked on a small downhill roadway at the top of the hill, and the drop on the passenger side was pretty severe. There's a metal gate and a tiny little sticker marking the course; go past this and you'll find a stand and see the start of the course. Disc golfing here is very challenging. Lots of uphills and downhills and I had to scramble up some weeds and dust to get my disc. Sturdy shoes are a must and I wouldn't recommend visiting during or after a heavy rain. I saw another player on the course in knee-high socks to protect her lower legs from branches and bushes, and I thought this was an excellent idea. There were large signs marking poison ivy in the area, which I really appreciated, as I hail from an area that doesn't grow it naturally, and I wouldn't be able to identify it without signs. The views of the lake and the lower wineries are spectacular as you move through the course, and as you get higher and higher they are even better. I enjoyed the varying terrain, although we did skip a couple of holes (one is called the valley of death, and I did not want to try to rescue my disc from the said valley). I wouldn't recommend this course for true beginners, or anyone with limited mobility, but it's very fun if you're game to climb a bit and enjoy the scenery.

There are multiple lakes to check out along the trails here that are a nice break if you are hiking in the heat of the summer! There are lots of official trails and goat trails that you can explore and spend days here. Care has to be taken on the trails though when the wind picks up as there are a lot of unstable dead trees from the fires that could topple over and hurt you. There is a ton of wildlife here to experience as well. There are Mule and white tailed deer, mountain goats, black bears, chipmunks and rattle snakes to name a few. Always take care to watch your step in the heat of summer as a bite from a rattle snake can in rare cases lead to death but can really hurt and make it difficult to make it out of the bush. The park is pretty big with an area of 11,038 hectares protected. Hunting is allowed in the boarders of this park during hunting season so I would wear bright coloured clothing during that season for sure!

In summer it is bustling with people who have come to go to the beach, relax in the park or go for a nice walk, run or bike ride. It is a great place to run because the path is right along the lake so you're treated to nice views and due to its size you can cover a decent distance for your workout. They still have the Ogopogo (the mythical creature who lives in the lake statue and the fountain with the dolphins. Let me tell you that these have been there a LONG time (at least since I was a child). They add a nice little touch to the park. Also since my most recent visit was in December the city has set up an outdoor skating rink which looked like a lot of fun. You could rent skates if you didn't have them and it just looked like a good way to
