Rivers Trail Description

The Rivers Trail is a great family-friendly hike in Kamloops that will allow you to experience the natural beauty of the landscape surrounding the Thompson River, in addition to getting some easy exercise along a well-kept trail. The trail sets out from the parking area and follows along a creek before turning to the east on a path that runs parallel to the Thompson River. From here, you will have some amazing views across the water to the surrounding mountains while you effortlessly stroll along the water’s edge. After passing by a small marshy area, continue along the trail beyond the airport buildings towards Crestline Park. When you have reached the end of the trail, turn back and retrace your footsteps while gaining a new perspective of the picturesque river landscape on the way to the parking area where you began.
