Okanagan Valley,
BC, Canada is a top destination for Water
Skiers and boating enthusiasts. Water skiing and
tubing behind a boat on any of the lakes in the Okanagan Valley
during the summer is a must do activity. Plus, it is a great way
to cool down in the hot sun.
The valley is
home to two very large connected fresh water lakes named Skaha
Lake and Okanagan Lake.
It is a given that during the summer months in the Okanagan the
two lakes are buzzing with activity from the many water skiers,
wind surfers, sail boats and kite surfers cruising the two lakes.
Then there is
the famous Water Skiing destination
of Shuswap Lake located just north of Kelowna and the warm water
lake anchoring the south end of the Okanagan Valley - Osoyoos Lake. Other lakes
ideal for a water skiing adventure that are located a short drive
away from the main communities in the Okanagan Valley include Vaseux
Lake, Kalamalka Lake and Wood
Lake.
Fueling up a ski
boat can be done in Osoyoos, Penticton, Summerland, Peachland, Westbank,
or Kelowna. While Water Skiing keep an eye open for the elusive Ogopogo, the First Nations pictographs
and the variety of wildlife. Without a doubt Lake Okanagan is a
premium BC wet stretch for wakeboarding, water skiing, and tubing.
Bring your gear and show your stuff! Rentals and lessons are provided
in most lake communities.
