Entertainment & Activities

This is a fun afternoon in the summer, floating down the channel. Rent tubes from Coyote Cruises, or take your own (for free). If you take your own you need to drop another car or bike either midway down (by the Home Hardware) or else at Skaha Lake. It can take 3+ hours to get down to Skaha Lake because the lower part of the channel moves slowly. Bring your sunscreen. If you have a snorkel you can watch the fish.

Great beach just down the road about 500m. Or, in the later summer, you can go out past the swim dock where it's shallow, then walk down there waist-deep in the lake!

Another beautiful beach nearby. If the wind picks up and you want to do some water skiing or tubing, you can usually head over here to find some calm water as prevailing wind is from the north.
