Lake Country sits between Kelowna and Vernon and takes its name from the lakes that surround it — Okanagan, Wood and Kalamalka. It combines quiet beaches, trails and a cluster of wineries.
Gray Monk Estate Winery, 50th Parallel Estate, Arrowleaf Cellars, Ex Nihilo Vineyards and Intrigue Wines are linked by the Scenic Sip wine route, and this northern stretch is known for cool-climate whites and Pinot Noir. See Lake Country wineries.
The Okanagan Rail Trail runs through Lake Country, linking it with Kelowna and Vernon for walking and cycling. Wood Lake and Kalamalka Lake have beaches and boating, and Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, just north, is known for its turquoise water and hiking.
The Creekside Theatre brings touring musicians, dance and the Lake Country Country Music Festival, and Cutwater Brewing and Lounge adds a casual evening option. See Lake Country events.
