Bring a good pair of runners or hiking boots and a pack for your water and a snack. This is a local treasure. A medium hike will get you to the top where the views are breathtaking. You can see Okanagan, Woods, and Ellison (or as the locals call it “Duck”) Lakes. A must do for sure if you like hiking. It takes maybe an hour and a bit to reach the top......depending on how many breaks you take to soak in the views. A close 10 minute drive from us.

Yummy food! Best fish and chips on Friday nights!! May be seasonal for fish and chips in the spring and fall. Other food is also very yummy! On the north end of Woods Lake across from the beach and next to Oyama General Store. If you are biking/walking the rail trail this would be your half way stop around the Lake.
