Hidden Troll Forest, Vernon, BC
About Hidden Troll Forest, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia
The Hidden Troll Forest as we call it at Exploratory Glory is a hiking trail that is situated just off of Bench Row Road on the outskirts of the city of Vernon, British Columbia. It is a dog-friendly walking path that is relatively flat and features a beautiful stand of forest that was originally planted for the purpose of irrigation. The outer trail features idyllic scenery overlooking Okanagan Valley grasslands and picturesque farm acreages. Once visitors walk the inner trails they are treated to a unique experience as they make their way into a whimsical forest filled with locally crafted troll houses. There are interesting trinkets everywhere you look which visitors have brought to the forest and left behind.
The Hidden Troll Forest is definitely a very family-friendly trail and is really quite fun for small children, especially when they bring their own trinkets to leave behind for the trolls. There are also cute squirrels everywhere and in the fall the trees change color and make for an excellent photo-op.
