The Greenway is over 17km in length and travels through two distinctively different environments. The first phase is about 7km from Lakeshore Road to Ziprick Road, and is a very flat wide pathway with no hills. See maps under Phase 1 and Phase 2 to the left. Phase 2, from Ziprick Road to KLO Creek, is about 9km and features a canyon environment, generally narrower trail, bridges, and some steep hills with switchbacks. This portion of the trail may not be suitable for young children or those not accustomed to difficult hikes. Access to the Greenway is at Lakeshore Drive, Gordon Drive (parking in the Mission Sportsfield), Casorso, KLO Road, Springfield Road at Durnin Road, Ziprick Road (parking area), Graham Road, Gerstmar Road (parking area), Tamarack Drive, Creek Street, Hollywood Road, Pasadena Road, East Kelowna Road, Hollywood Road south Trailhead and parking area and in Scenic Canyon Regional Park (parking lot off Field Road).

Dogs must be kept on a leash within park boundaries and owners should clean up after their pets. Motorized vehicles are not permitted on the trails. Overnight camping or open fires are not permitted.

Pinch Point Bypass Trail Improvements Dec 2009 Although the main construction of Phase Two of the Mission Creek Greenway is completed, work is still being done to improve the trail and signage of this outdoor experience. Over the last couple of years Mission Creek has eroded a small portion of the trail known as the "Pinch Point" to the extent that it is no longer safe. To correct this problem a number of options are being considered. One possibility is for a tunnel to be constructed through the bluff blocking the affected area. At the present time feasibility studies are being done to determine whether a tunnel could be safely constructed. As well, work is almost complete on a well developed bypass route up above the creek and onto a flatland area overlooking the path of the valley. There is a distinct grassland area which is quite different in vegetation from down along the creek. As well, from this elevation, you gain a different perspective of the channel that the creek has cut through the land and how this area has been eroded and formed over time. The path up the side of the hill has been virtually rebuilt by Regional District personnel. Machines have been brought in to widen and deepen the path, stabilize it with wire mesh and ease the slope of the trail by providing very solid stairs at steeper locations. The resulting trail is much easier to use and it provides you with different natural experiences. It is worth seeing! As you proceed further along the grasslands you will find the trail comes together with a small road coming down from the Gallagher Golf course area. Further work has been done on this section to improve the trail. To prevent drainage issues the road has been sloped into the hillside. On the left hand side of the road a path has been created which is carefully graded and therefore more 'user friendly' to the general population as they descend back down to the valley floor and Mission Creek. For further information please contact us. Phase 2 Campaign Closed The Phase 2 campaign is now closed. If you would like to donate to the Phase 3 campaign you can do so at the Regional District office at 1450 KLO Road Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm.
