Okanagan Falls

Live in OK Falls

More than just “okay”, Okanagan Falls, or OK Falls sits at the southernmost tip of Skaha Lake. Although the falls the city was originally known for have since dried up, that doesn’t stop residents and tourist alike from enjoying some of the warmest lake waters in Canada. Choosing where to live in OK Falls comes down to deciding whether you prefer beaches, bluffs, or something in-between.

OK Falls is a relatively quiet community although the wealth of summer activities frequently attracts many tourists. The mixture of terrain and beaches in the community are perfect for enjoying the sights or getting exercise. Plenty of local orchards also mean you can get both quality food and support the local community at the same time. Plus, a short drive puts you within reach of all the amenities Penticton offers for better times and experiences.
