Peachland

22 min from Downtown Kelowna

The trail at Trepanier Greenway follows the creek for a scenic winding flat path until the exciting and gruelling uphill battle to reach the apex of Pincushion Mountain! Bring your trail-sense with you, or the GPS map, as there is a brief section which grosses over a gravel construction yard (as of 2014).

GPS Notes
We have often color-coded our GPX tracks. While it is not always the case, we have tried to use the following convention on our newer maps:

Green/Blue: human-verified by our volunteers.
Purple: overgrown trail, bushwhack, or on private property.
Red: default color or not reality-checked
Yellow: Road
Other Colors: May have been satellite traced or imported from third party sources.

While we strongly believe our GPS are accurate, please be aware that no logging system is perfect and to be aware of potential errors. Use at your own risk.

    Walked to top of Pincushion via Trepanier creek trail. The creek trails is a little muddy but in excellent shape. The access trail from the creek trail up to the main Pincushion trail is very lightly used and overgrown but very manageable. Having a gps track to follow was very useful for that part. Lots of ice up high on the main trail. A beautiful hike!
