A recreational slice can be found in or near Kelowna! Kelowna is within a range of mountains, Okanagan Valley filled with lakes, pine forests, gardens, orchards and vineyards, beaches, and ample amenities. Stretching from north to south for approximately 110 kms (68 miles) is beautiful Okanagan Lake.
The Okanagan Valley is located at the northern most end of the Sonora Desert and hence has a semi-arid climate, boasting long warm summers and short mild winters.
