Penticton is one of a very few places in the world where after a great day of spring skiing in the morning, enthusiasts can play a round of golf or go boating in the afternoon (April). The Okanagan is also world famous for its wines. The valley is set in a semi-arid belt, providing both soil and climate similar to California's Napa Valley. The region now features approximately 70 wineries. The valley is also known for its orchard industry.
Whether you're a golfer, skier, wine connoisseur, sun worshipper, extreme sports enthusiast or simply interested in a peaceful getaway, you will find paradise in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia.
There are plenty of things to do. Check out the links above for specific on some of our great attractions. Driving up or down the valley, visitors will see dozens of fruit and vegetable stands, a salmon run, alpaca farm, bird sanctuary, cattle drive, fallow deer farm, ghost towns, go-karts, gold panning, guest ranches, honey bee farms, houseboats, the Kettle Valley Steam Railway, golf courses galore, miniature horses, mini-formula one cars, an observatory, Ogopogo sighting stations (if you prove the monster is alive, you can win $2 million), orchard tours, the Osoyoos Desert Centre, paintball, parasailing, Parrot Island, a petting zoo, Pheasant World, skateboard parks, theme parks, trout farms and fish hatcheries, waterslides, whitewater rafting, a wild boar farm and 70 world class wineries.
There are also many festivals, farmers' markets, First Nations events, regattas, rodeos, exhibitions, fairs, horse races and shows. A terrific way to spend a day is cycling across the 18 railway trestles of the Kettle Valley Railway at the Myra Canyon Trestles. Part of the Trans Canada Trail, this stretch of railbed can deliver you from Kelowna to Penticton if you're amibitios with a bike, or you can easily spend an afternoon wandering through 100 years of local history at the trestle site.
For those who prefer casting a line, the Okanagan's freshwater lakes feature rainbow trout, kokanee salmon, whitefish and burot. Fish on your own or hire a guide. In winter, frozen lakes are ideal for ice fishing.
