Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park

Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park protects one of the Okanagan’s most striking lakes — famous for vivid turquoise water in summer. The park offers beaches, picnic areas, swimming and calm waters for paddleboarding and kayaking. Numerous trails and viewpoints around the lake provide excellent opportunities for hiking and photography, especially at lookouts that display the lake’s dramatic colour changes.

The park is a popular summer destination, so arrive early for parking and quieter beaches. It’s perfect for family beach days, active paddlers and anyone seeking a scenic escape from town. Amenities are basic; plan to bring food, water and sun protection for a comfortable visit.
