Things To Do
Penticton Channel
We highly recomend to take a float down the Penticton Channel. This built-in lazy river runs through Penticton and takes approximately 3 hours but can be shorter or longer depending on the tide. So grab your floaties, and maybe some drinks and head to the dock point to spend your day floating away! There is also a company, Coyote Cruises, that offers floatie rentals and transportation back to the start. We have added their website link for those who may be interested!
Kettle Valley Rail Trail
You can hike or bike the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, as it boasts beautiful scenery with historic old tunnels, tressels and bridges. The trail stretches 660 kms across BC from Hope to Castlegar. It travels through Penticton and Naramata with offshoot trails that lead to scenic lookouts and historic old railway areas.
Wine Touring
There are SOO many wineries, breweries, and cideries that you can visit while in the area. Drop in and enjoy great gourmet food, maybe have a picnic, or sit on a dog-friendly patio while you sip your drink and revel in the fabulous Okanagan scenery. This link will take you to information about locations and companies that offer tours. But with over 180 wineries in the Okanagan Valley, there are plenty to choose from!
Skaha Lake Beach/Park
A beautiful large beach with mountain views, large green spaces, tennis, ice cream, snack hut and playgrounds. Also, the water is usually a bit warmer then the Okanagan Lake 😉
Okanagan Lake Beach
Located on the north side of the city, this 1 km sandy beach is close to downtown with lots of restaurants, snacks and accommodations within walking distance.
Penticton Farmers’ Market
Saturdays from 8:30am - 1:00pm go and visit the downtown farmers market. With over 90 vendors, the market offers a unique shopping experience for everyone.
Naramata
A great little community to explore, this link will take you to their website that showcases all there is to do here.
Tickleberry's Ice Cream
THE BEST ICE CREAM! Located a few minutes outside of Penticton in Okanagan Falls, and is worth the drive. With over 72 flavours to choose from and a cute location, this is a must to add to your trip!

Penticton and the South Okanagan offer miles of scenic hiking and nature trails, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a heart-pumping hike while soaking in stunning views. We've provided a link to the Visit Penticton website, where you can find some of the most popular trails in the area.
