Spot de Skaha

Skaha

Skaha

Overview

Skaha Lake is located just south of Penticton, between Okanagan Lake to the north and Vaseux Lake to the south. This 12 km N-S oriented lake is framed by steep cliffs that channel the wind. Thermal conditions are reliable in summer. Smaller and less crowded than Okanagan Lake, it offers an interesting alternative.
