Continue following the paved pathway and you will come to a second pedestrian walkway across Vancouver Ave and follow the road along Vancouver Place.

Kettle Valley Railway Trail - McCulloch Trestle
2.7km along the trail you will come to the McCulloch Trestle. Take a minute to soak in the views of the vineyards and orchards along the Naramata Bench and overlooking Okanagan Lake.
6
Kettle Valley Railway Trail - Little Tunnel
We suggest making the most of your e-bike an ride 13km more, slightly up hill (2-3% max grade) to the Little Tunnel lookout. This is a popular destination for most visitors along the KVR and offers incredible views from Peachland to the North to Ok Falls to the South. At the Little Tunnel, take a break and enjoy the snacks you bought from Petrasek Bakery.
Now its time to turn around and head back to Penticton (its all downhill!). Enjoy the views and the gentle ride as you make your way back to the city.
7
Hillside Winery
Feeling thirsty and hungry, with lots of option to stop along the way back to the city we recommend stopping at Hillside Winery & Bistro. They are conveniently located on the KVR and offer wine tastings at the winery and one of the best patios in the South Okanagan for a late lunch or early dinner.

Cannery Brewing
After a full day of riding the bike on the trail, stop in at Cannery Brewing for a quick pint and nachos (a local favourite).
