The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Kelowna, Okanagan Valley
Located on the sunny Lake Okanagan, Kelowna offers a cure for whatever ails you. Spend the weekend golfing, relaxing on the beach or exploring a nature trail. The Okanagan Valley is chock-full of orchards, while many local vineyards offer wine tasting and tours. Stop at the mid-19th-century Father Pandosy Mission for a glimpse of Kelowna's history, then plan a moonlit cruise on the lake to end your day.

Such a fun activity to do when visiting Kelowna! My husband and I rented bikes from Myra Canyon bike rental and spent the morning exploring the paths that take you around the canyon, through caves and over old bridges that were previously used for trains. Would highly recommend!

If you spot Ogopogo, the legendary lake monster said to inhabit these waters, you'll make headline news, but other than that, you're sure to enjoy all the recreational activities this 82-mile long lake has to offer: swimming, boating, parasailing and all types of water sports.

The walk around the park offers beautiful views of the Okanagan Lake and surrounding mountains. In the park there is plenty to children to do; offering a number of play areas. The park also has a public washroom facility that is in a decent condition for how public washrooms go. The park is very well maintained and offers large green spaces to sunbathe and also sandy beaches when you can chill out or swim in the lake. The pier is really cool to walk on and view the boats and head out further into the lake. In addition the walkway around the park is perfectly flat for bike riding.

A bit tricky to find, this little gem of a park is truly the best spot in downtown Kelowna! It's a tranquil, beautifully designed, well maintained respite from the hustle and bustle of the lake shore crowds. Lovely koi pond, elegant bridges, delicate colour play of all the various foliage, bonsai trees in various stages of cultivation - lots of photo opportunities, especially with the intricate light of a sunset. No corner left unattended - everything is lovingly thought through, down to the ground-covering ivy. Make sure you take a free brochure that will explain what kinds of plants and trees you encounter: fascinating and educational. Lots of benches provided: I may be tempted to bring a tea and a book here next time. At any rate, I shall make it my mandatory stop in Kelowna from now on!
