Since rail operations were ended in the 1980’s, the corridor has been used heavily as a recreation trail by residents and tourists linking Penticton, Kaleden and Okanagan Falls. The former KVR rail corridor is identified as a priority trail route within the RDOS Regional Trails Master Plan 2011. No formalized process for maintenance or improvements has occurred on this corridor since rail operations were discontinued by Canadian Pacific Railway.
