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.
Fresh water. Flat to choppy water. Sandy bottom. The lake is 1-2 km wide — limited but sufficient fetch. Warm water in summer (20-23°C). Good chop in sustained S thermal wind. Moderate depth.
Intermediate
Open all year round
Boat traffic in summer. Cliffs create gusts and turbulence in cross winds. Wind can ramp up quickly in the corridor. Motorboats and jet-skis. Swimming zone at Penticton.
