Locals have ridden the ridges, benches, and rocks around Penticton for decades. Three Blind Mice, Campbell Mountain, and Skaha Bluffs sit within 10–15 minutes of downtown, offering everything from technical, adrenaline-filled descents to approachable flow trails.

The Kettle Valley Rail Trail adds an easy, scenic option. Add two freshwater lakes, 8 craft breweries, and 80+ wineries, and Penticton is a great destination for anyone in your group, on and off the bike.

Penticton's trails are on the unceded territory of the Syilx Nation, specifically the Penticton Indian Band.
