The 7 km lake to lake channel float is a must do summer activity in Penticton. The float starts at Coyote Cruises on Riverside Drive and slowly drifts from Okanagan Lake all the way down to Skaha Lake. If you don’t want to float the whole way there is a mid-way stopping point at Green Mountain Road. You are welcome to use your own floatie. Don’t worry if you don’t have your own floatie, you can rent one at Coyote Cruises. They have everything from single tubes to 12 seater floating islands.
