British Columbia Bed and Breakfast Canada Innkeepers Guild

West Kelowna, BC, sits on the west side of Lake Okanagan, in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. The dry sunny climate makes staying at West Kelowna Bed and Breakfasts lovely any time of year, whether your tastes run to golfing, skiing, hiking, boating or sipping wine.

Two Provincial Parks dominate the land of BC’s Okanagan Valley. Eneas Lakes Provincial Park is to the west of Lake Okanagan, while Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park is to the east. Both offer almost endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Indeed, these parks protect much of the land along the south end of Lake Okanagan, making it a paradise for boaters.

There are four lakes in Eneas Lakes Provincial Park, and nearly a thousand hectares of pristine pine and fir forests. Come here to fish in peace, and enjoy a quiet hike. The park is rustic, and it may be a relief to the comfort of your West Kelowna Bed and Breakfast at the end of the day.

Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park is comprised of over 10,000 hectacres of beautiful, rugged land. Many of the grasslands, mountain lakes and spruce-fir forests are accessible only by foot, bike or horseback. As a result, much the area feels like true wilderness.

Back on the beaten track, notice the many wineries in the region. BC’s Okanagan Wine Festivals keep wine flowing year-round, with tastings, discussions, and one large event each season. There are dozens of wineries in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, and six of them are in West Kelowna, BC. Wine tasting is a fun way to learn about wine production and find favorites – pick up a few bottles to take home or enjoy at your West Kelowna BC Bed and Breakfast.
