Okanagan Lake South
BC Parkswhat to expect
Beautiful, sandy/pebbly beaches surrounded by ponderosa pine and sagebrush make this park the perfect spot for swimming and water activities. At the two large campgrounds in the park, panoramic views, picnic sites and interpretive programs which run from late June through Labour Day weekend, will add to your enjoyment. The landscape across the lake, from beach to skyline, is part of Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park, accessible by boat or by driving back through Kelowna.
