Trail guide

Food on the Rail Trail.

The easiest food stop on the Okanagan Rail Trail is Lu Lou's Lakeside Grill & Chill, right on the Wood Lake section in Oyama, about the middle of the 50 km Coldstream-to-Kelowna route. Lock the bike at the rack and order a sloppy joe, an all-beef dog and a soft-serve. Counter service, daily.

Fifty kilometres of flat rail trail between Coldstream and Kelowna, and we're the food stop in the middle. Wood Lake on the deck, bike rack at the door, cold pop in the cooler. Lock up, eat on the beach.

The Oyama pull-off.

We're trail-adjacent on the Wood Lake stretch. The trail runs flat and sunny here, the lake's on your right if you're heading south, left if you're going north. There's a bike rack at the entrance.

What to order

→ Hot, fast, packable: a Regular Dog or a Kids Dog, a side of fries, and a cold pop. You're back on the trail in 15 minutes.
→ Earned-it lunch: the Sloppy Joe. Eat it at a picnic table, swim it off before you ride.
→ Reward yourself: a dipped soft-serve cone. Need a bottle top-up? Distilled water machine at the General Store right next door.
