  • Complimentary boats & paddleboards
  • Floating raft & lawn gatherings
  • Patios, BBQs & evening skies

    South Okanagan Cycling & Fruit Stands

    Verified

    Valley cycling routes, farm-fresh cherries and peaches in summer, and roadside fruit stands across the South Okanagan.

    The flat valley floor between Oliver and the surrounding communities makes for pleasant cycling.

A relaxed way to explore beyond the lake — at your own pace, with plenty of stops along the way.

    • Travel: Throughout the valley
    • Season: Peak fruit season: June through September
    • Families: Great for all ages; fruit stands are a summer highlight for families.
