Tips from the Community
You can park along Harrington Crescent to access the trail system north of Peachtree. There are a bunch of spur trails right when you start, so you'll want to download a GPS map to be certain of the main path - there are some that detour onto private land. Once you get further up into the Gladstone trail system the route becomes easier to follow.

Peachland was once a mining town, and the east side of the loop has a number of old mineshafts (now overgrown pits) from the 1890s. In its heyday, Gladstone Mine once exported gold, silver, copper, and other heavy metals.

The trail is well-maintained and there is a bench at the lookout to Okanagan Lake. It can be a bit rocky in places, but overall this trail is very new as it was constructed recently by the Peachland Outdoors Club.

This trail follows the flow of its eponymous creek towards the beautiful waterfall that plunges over the cliffside. It's roughly 1 kilometer long but has enough elevation gain and tricky sections to keep even experience hikers on their toes. You can hike this as an out and back to the falls, or connect to the Kettle Valley Rail Trail for a longer day out.

The climb is steep and is not recommended in wet weather. But the effort is worth it because the waterfalls are enormous. The trail itself is beautifully enchanted and requires very sure-footedness.
