Large section of KVR above Naramata to be closed for nearly 2 weeks

Anyone looking to enjoy this spring-like weather with a walk on the Kettle Valley Rail (KVR) trail may need to adjust their route over the next two weeks.

A lengthy section of the popular trail above Naramata will be closed for nearly two weeks, starting on Wednesday.

The closure, which will stretch from the Smethurst parking lot to the Glenfir parking lot, is necessary so crews can complete rock scaling along the path.

“Rock scaling is the removal of loose rock from slopes in proximity to the trail and gathering areas,” explained a release from the Regional District of South Okanagan.

A geotechnical engineer has already identified scaling locations and the project will be done using excavators and rope scaling technicians.

The full closure will last from Wednesday until Monday, March 29, although the trail will be open for public use on the weekend of March 27-28.

The RDOS asks all trail users to respect crews, barriers, equipment and posted signage.
