Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park adventure.
Explore the grasslands and unusual blue-green lake in this vast day-use park. Â
Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park spans more than 3,200 hectares of grasslands, interspersed with ponderosa pines and Douglas fir. Kalamalka Lake itself is a âmarl lake,â which creates a unique summer phenomenon of a distinctive blue-green color caused by dissolved limestone. The park, a mostly undeveloped outdoor destination located between Kelowna and Vernon in the North Okanagan region of BC, is open year-round for day-use only with 14 kilometres of hiking trails, mountain biking routes, and beaches on Jade Bay, Juniper Bay, and Cosens Bay. On the lake, go boating, waterskiing, canoeing, and kayaking.
Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park is open year-round, even when mid-winter temperatures can dip below freezing. No park services operate between late October and early April. Both the temperate autumn and spring are great times to explore the Okanagan Valley with fewer crowds and lots of wildflowers. Summer is peak season, with hot, dry days when a swim in the lake feels most refreshing. Â
