Development work on the Shuswap-North Okanagan Rail Trail has started for the 2024 season, according to a Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) press release.

Following the development of a two-kilometre pilot section in Enderby in 2023, construction of the rail trail in the CSRD is expected to begin soon.

Plans for 2024 also include work on a section in Armstrong.

The trail is designed to be more than 50 kilometres in length and mostly flat, traversing lakefront shoreline, forested hillside, rivers, streams, farmland and rural towns.

It is suitable for walking and biking and has universal mobility access, according to the release.
