What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Eain Lamont Park for its rewarding summit views and natural beauty, with many enjoying the bouldering rocks and the sense of discovery on its unmarked trails. However, some find the lack of clear signage and the presence of rattlesnakes to be points of concern.
"Came here for a quick walk before making dinner and couldn't help but continue to explore the trail to the top. The trail to the right has phenomenal bouldering rocks. Continuing up, the trail became steep, and after a scramble, we were blessed with a double rainbow over Okanagan Lake when we reached the top. We took a more moderate trail on the way down, which led us back to the trailhead."
Sheri Baird
"Rewarding view of Kelowna atop the approximately 275 m first peak of Mount Boucherie. Relatively hidden trail entrance in residential side lane. Unmarked trails, although most intuitively leads to the peak. Low traffic trails. Known site of rattlesnakes."
ERIC LEE
"This is a great hike around Mount Boucherie. There is a well worn path that is a simple hike. The hike to the top is of moderate difficulty. The paths are easy to find but are not marked with their difficulty. The views are amazing."
