This charming lakeside community is also famous for outstanding golf and outdoor adventure pursuits. The Kettle Valley Railway (KVR) recreational trail offers exceptional hiking and biking options for all skill levels. Boasting breathtaking views, the KVR meanders through the city and winds its way along two pristine lakes and across fertile benchlands lined with orchards and vineyards. Dine alfresco at an estate winery or pack a gourmet picnic lunch with fresh produce from a roadside stand or local Farmers’ Market. Golfers may want to head straight for the fairway as Penticton is within easy driving distance of more than 50 golf courses, including seven championship courses. Missed shots can easily be blamed on the stunning scenery. Adrenaline junkies always enjoy world-class rock climbing at the Skaha Bluffs and an abundance of water sports on both Skaha and Okanagan lakes. For something a little different, spend an afternoon floating down the Okanagan River Channel. In the winter a visit to Apex Mountain Resort is a must! Tear up fresh powder on the hill, skate graceful circles around the ice rink, or relax with a beverage in the lounge — the atmosphere at Apex will keep you warm when the temperatures drop. With so many ways to have fun in Penticton and Wine Country, the only limiting factor is your own imagination.
