What to do and see in Highway 97, Okanagan Valley: The Best Outdoor Activities

July 22, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

Located on the sunny Lake Okanagan, Kelowna offers a cure for whatever ails you. Spend the weekend golfing, relaxing on the beach or exploring a nature trail. The Okanagan Valley is chock-full of orchards, while many local vineyards offer wine tasting and tours. Stop at the mid-19th-century Father Pandosy Mission for a glimpse of Kelowna's history, then plan a moonlit cruise on the lake to end your day.

2 courses to choose from here. In the Okanagan Valley, with hills, forests, and some link style holes two. Quail is perhaps a bit more challenging than the Bear. Both are great. Greens are awesome, the course layouts are challenging but manageable - just ask the starter which of the 4 tee boxes to use based on your ability. Restaurant is good and the outdoor aptio is a great setting for a beer!

My wife and I played 18 at Shadow Ridge and enjoyed it immensely. Very friendly & fun staff & we joined a delightful couple that guided us around the course. It is a fun walk-able track that has a few non-traditional holes other than right, left or down the shoot that make it interesting. Yes there were a few divots and some weeds here & there but we didn't pay $100 for the round either. We'll definitely go again the next time I'm in Kelowna.

Great Ride! I phoned in advance and spoke to peter about what i was looking for and knew that he would be the best person to trust in putting my 3 year old on his horses. (They provided her and I with a staff member to lead the horse, while letting her feel like she was in control the whole time)The comments about him being stern and a perfectionist are entirely true, and that is why i brought my child here to ride. The staff were very hands on and informative with every step of the ride. This was not only a " pony ride" for kids but a riding lesson before we began, they took the time to see that everyone was comfortable on the horses before we ventured up the mountain paths. It was a very relaxed environment and we were all comfortable. The views from the property was beautiful as we weaved through the mountain side. If you are looking to walk in to a stables that is pristine condition and they throw you on a horse to follow them around then look elsewhere.
