There’s no doubt that the South Okanagan is a beautiful place to live. With its rolling hills, stunning lakes, and endless sunny days, it’s no wonder that so many people are drawn to this region. But the South Okanagan isn’t just a pretty face – it’s also a great place to stay active and healthy. From hiking and biking in the summer to skating and skiing in the winter, there’s something for everyone. Check out these seasonal favourites from Summerland to Osoyoos:
A Variety of Outside Winter Activities
Winter is a great time to live in the South Okanagan with plenty of winter activities to enjoy. Downhill and X-country skiing, snowboarding, skating, tubing on the slopes, or a game of pick-up hockey on the rink at Apex Mountain Resort are all popular winter activities here. Isn’t it time to move to the Okanagan? Let Shannon Simpson help you find your new home. For more information about Penticton, click here.
Spring Into Summer on the KVR Trail
The Kettle Valley Rail Trail ( KVR) is known throughout North America as a very scenic hiking and biking destination, offering 650 km of well-maintained trails that wind through some of the South Okanagan’s most stunning scenery. Whether you’re looking for a day hike combined with a winery tour, or a multi-day cycling adventure, the KVR is a super destination. And with many sections open to horseback riding, motorized vehicles, and winter activities such as snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, there’s something for everyone.
Summer Fun in the Sun
Beaches and water sports are a core part of enjoying summer here. Penticton is situated between two lakes, Okanagan Lake to the north and Skaha Lake to the south. You’ll love the beaches close to the downtown core, including Okanagan Beach, Skaha Beach and Marina Beach. As a homeowner, you can enjoy plenty of beach activities every day – including sunbathing, swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking and windsurfing. Fishing is also popular in Penticton, with many anglers heading out onto Okanagan Lake in search of trout and bass. With so much to do, it’s no wonder that Penticton is one of the fastest growing destinations to live in BC! Don’t wait until spring to start planning a new home purchase here – Shannon’s Marketing Updates provide decades of realtor experience to share.
Autumn is a Glorious Harvest Time to Visit
This fall don’t miss one of BC’s largest outdoor farm markets in Penticton, open from April to harvest season in October. Wine and brewery tours are always popular this time of year – as the grapes are full and being harvested – a photographer’s dream. Stock up for the winter with our specialties such as pumpkins, apples, and butternut squash at local farm gates.
