Why Choose Okanagan Falls Vacation Rentals?

Okanagan Falls, locally known as OK Falls is a charming community located on the southern end of Skaha Lake in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. Skaha Lake, translated as Dog Lake in English, was named by the Okanagan First Nations people, so it is no wonder that Okanagan Falls was originally called Dogtown.
The name was later changed to Okanagan Falls because of small twin waterfalls that used to be located at the southern end of Skaha Lake where it emptied into the Okanagan River.
Okanagan Falls enjoys one of the mildest climates in Canada boasting high annual hours of sunshine so it is natural that many tourists visit this area for their summer vacation.
The area has many attractions worthy of note and which can be enjoyed by staying in a local vacation home as your base.
Still a thriving agricultural area, Okanagan Falls offers fresh fruits and vegetables, delicious dried fruits and award winning wines from the nearby wineries. Going on a wine tour is a great way to indulge in the flavors of this region without the stress of driving.
Another tasty pleasure and one you won't want to miss is an ice-cream cone from the one and only Tickleberry's, where you can find ice cream in all flavors, and many fine gifts and sundries as a bonus.
Outdoor recreation is easy to find here and visitors can enjoy hiking, biking and horseback riding on the miles of easily accessible trails.

Wildlife viewing is plentiful and you may catch a glimpse of bighorn sheep, deer and quail nearby, or moose, cougar, elk and bear if you venture into the surrounding mountains.
