Okanagan Valley EH! Munson Mountain Park

When you are approaching Penticton from Summerland on highway 97 heading south, look across to the east side of Okanagan Lake and you’ll see Penticton’s name in huge white lettering on a hillside. Munson Mountain is a dominate presence and is one of the most recognized symbols of the Okanagan Valley. That ‘hill’ is Penticton’s own Munson Mountain.

Access the Munson Mtn. view point trail by making your way across town to Middle Bench Rd. then on to Munson Mountain Rd. The paved parking lot is easily found, as is the groomed gravel trail to the top of this very old volcanic core. The main path to the first view point is perfect for people of all ages and hike/walking ability, including those with wheelchairs.

There are lots of sturdy benches plus one covered gazebo along the way. Give yourselves an hour to have a picnic and enjoy the wonderful 360 degree view of Penticton, Summerland, Naramata, and Peachland
