Peachland, Summerland, and Penticton BC

Hello all getting to that time once again, i will be going to

Peachland, Summerland, and Penticton BC , is there any really cool must see spots or things to do or see that are some local hidden treasures that google searches just dont come up with?

Anybody have any secret spots?

Thanks in advance,
  • Take a ride on the Kettle Valley Railway near Summerland. This steam train takes you through the wine fields of the area. You may be able to buy fresh grown cherries to take along with you and be entertained by the on board banjo player. Great fun, enjoy:

  • Not sure if its still there, but there used to be horse back riding on Silver Star mountain. During the winter Silver Star is a ski resort. During the summer its still a beautiful spot with views of the North end of the Okanagan Valley.

    Also check out Kalkamalka Lake. Although the lake us actually deep it has various colours that seem to change, both colour and position almost every day.

    There are also numerous wineries that offer wine tasting and tours of the properties.
