Trails Park is a gravel and
boardwalk trail neighbouring Powers Creek, exploring the shores
of Okanagan Lake in the community of Westbank (Westside), British
Columbia, Canada in the Okanagan Valley. The nature trail is a
popular walking route and picnic site.
The park consists of a short easy-grade walking
trail that explores rows and groves of trees while providing lake
views. The pathway includes many natural viewing areas of Powers
Creek and of Okanagan Lake.
The local Rotary Club has constructed picnic
shelters and picnic tables in the park. The boardwalk portion
of the trail, which keeps feet dry and protects the sensitive
flora and fauna, was built by the Rotarians. The May Hayman Memorial
Bridge is a highlight on the trail. .
Near the Rotary Trails Park is a boat launch,
a yacht club and the Gellatly Bay Aquatic Park. Further down the
road, south of Rotary Trails Park, is the Gellatly
Nut Farm.
