Bedford Lookout Loop

Peachland

This trail is part of the immense Bedford Trail network. The network has over 30 km of trails, many of which are seldom used in 2021 and have become overgrown, with even the signs and markers aging and falling off trees. The official park map is wildly out of date and incomplete. Do not attempt without our GPS map: it is easy to get lost — especially considering most of the park is out of cell service range.

While most of the trails here simply meander through the forest, the Lookout Loop has a spectacular view of Okanagan Lake and the entire valley that shouldn't be missed. It's easy to spend a day here wandering the trails, passing by countless swamps, creeks, ponds, and lakes.

In early spring (April) be prepared for the trail to be flooded in numerous areas.

GPS Notes
Most often when viewing our maps, trails marked in Green or Blue have been human-verified by our volunteers. A route in purple indicates an overgrown trail or a bushwhack. Otherwise, the tracks 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.
