I can’t say enough good things about the help and support I got from the staff at dockside marina. Mason one of the sales representative went out of his way to help us out when we were looking for a boat and setting up an inspection for a boat we were thinking of purchasing. Trevor from the service department was excellent explaining everything that needed to be done for the inspection. Tim the mechanic went through the whole inspection report with us explaining everything that needed to be done for repairs .

We booked a ride for a group of 5 to celebrate a birthday and the majority of our group hadn't ridden in decades. We were all made to feel extremely safe and comfortable, and they did an exceptional job matching riders with their beautiful horses! Highly recommend - thank you for your hospitality Crystal & Jeff!

Glen Canyon Regional Park

Reviewed By yvonneb57 - Penticton, Canada

My sister and I visited Glen Canyon Regional Park to search for several geocaches. Before we entered the park, we read the informational sign and learned that in the area we were in, there were three scenic, well-marked trails to choose from. Dogs are allowed on leash. Our quest took us on the Doe Trail. We enjoyed walking this peaceful trail and soon arrived at our destination. Since bears may be active in this area, we were ready with our bear spray that we always carry with us.

Boucherie Rush Trail

I live five minutes from the trail head, which makes this hike a four season activity for me. I don't take this fact for granted! As a general description, once you arrive at the parking lot you have two options to the top: 1) highway side or the trail on the left or 2) trail leading up to your right, which is steeper, less marked and has a few poisonous trees to keep an eye out for. If you are looking for sweeping views, stick to the trail on the left, although they both end up on the summit with panoramic views of Okanagan Lake, the myriad of vineyards below and West Kelowna wineries and community. In summer, it can be extremely hot as there is not a lot of shade to be found. Take plenty of water and wear sturdy footwear! If you have your four legged friend with you, please remember water for them to as there are no facilities on the trail whatsoever. In the winter, crampons or hiking shoes with aggressive tread are your friend as it can be snowy or downright icy. Getting to the top is as simple as following the switchbacks as you climb 270 vertical meters. The trail is well defined and has km markers @ 1, 1.5, 2 & 3kms. There are a number of lookout points that afford simply breathtaking picture opportunities! The steepest section is the last kilometer. The trail is narrow but perfectly safe. I always find people very accommodating when you need to pass by one another, and it's not uncommon for people to stop and chat for a few minutes. So moderate or challenging? If you take your time I would categorize this hike as moderate. I have seen young children and teens hiking with their parents all the way through to a few old timers who brave it in any weather. When you put your head down and truck up this can be an amazing workout. At a leisurely to average pace, plan for 45 mins to an hour to the top and about the same down. Flat out, 30 minutes up, 30 minutes down, give or take. Overall, if you are looking for a scenic walk in the woods on a leisurely trail this is NOT that hike. If you are looking for viewpoints and are willing to put in some effort, the reward at the top is very worth it!

This beach is a favourite in West Kelowna, but go early to get parking as it is extremely limited. Better yet, walk in and see some of the loveliest homes in our community. This beach park has a great green space for picnics, frisbee and the pier is great for those who want to dive right into that clean water!

Shannon Lake Golf Club

Shannon Lake Golf Club, playing among towering pines and moderate elevation changes, is a true test to golfers of all abilities. After golf, Courses Restaurant in the new clubhouse (2015) offers tasty pub fare selections. Shannon Lake is located in West Kelowna, a short distance from the Coquihalla Connector. If you are traveling from the Lower Mainland region for a Kelowna golf package, this is a great facility to visit at the beginning or end of your Kelowna golf vacation. Some exciting renovation projects were completed in 2018, as a number of tee decks were re-shaped and designed to improve your golf experience at Shannon Lake.

My wife and I really enjoyed playing this course. The front 9 is very open with generous fairways and opportunities to hit driver. The back goes up and down the hills with some interesting holes with great veiws. Would definitely come back when I'm in the area.
