Summer activities in the Okanagan Valley
Coldstream is at the north end of the Okanagan Valley, on the outskirts of Vernon - the Trail Capital of B.C. - and is situated on the shores of Kalamalka Lake. This is also the premier wine region of Canada. Here's a small sampling of the things you can do in the area.
EAT & DRINK
There are many different food choices in Vernon and the surrounding area. Some of the best eateries are at local wineries, cideries, and brew pubs. Excellent options range from highbrow to lowbrow.
PLAY
Where to start? The lake will likely still be a bit cold for swimming, but great for paddling, sunbathing, and boating. There is a WORLD CLASS rail trail along the shore of the lake, that is wonderful for biking and walking and stopping for a quick cold dip. There are great bike and paddle board rentals nearby. Many options for scenic walks for a range of physical abilities.
EXPLORE
The Okanagan Valley is spectacularly beautiful, famous for its deep blue lakes, orchards and vineyards. People come from all over the world to go on wine tours, golf, hike, bike, and play in the lakes. There is a ton of sightseeing in the immediate area.
