A Bit about Penticton

4 Comments

The south end of Penticton is bordered by another lake called Skaha.

Another interesting fact about Penticton is that the land it sits on is actually the result of an ancient landslide that cut off the end of the long, narrow Okanagan Lake and created a second one.

Okanagan Lake

Penticton and its surroundings have been inhabited for hundreds of years by the Okanagan peoples who originally settled the area and traded up and down the west coast, including as far as South America.

Okanagan Lake is at the bottom of a very fertile valley.

Penticton is one of two cities in the world that sits between two lakes; the other is Interlaken, Switzerland.

Happy Friday.
