Black Mountain – Sntsk’il’ntən Regional Park

Located on Kelowna’s eastern slopes, this stunning grassland ecosystem was created through the collective efforts of the Regional District of Central Okanagan, Westbank First Nation, and the Province of British Columbia. Offering kilometres of hiking trails of varying difficulties that traverse the ridgeline, visitors are rewarded for the efforts with abundant views of the surrounding area. Over 120 species have been spotted here, making the area an excellent choice for birdwatching. For the best chance at viewing some species that are harder to find in the area, such as Mountain Bluebird and Western Meadowlark, it’s best to visit in the morning or evening to avoid the heat of the day.
