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.
Open all year round
