Kelowna Area, Okanagan Valley, Travl British Columbia Visual, Travel West, Travel Canada

Kelowna Area spreads from Vernon at the north side to Summerland and Pentincton on the south, right along the Okanagan Lake. The lake begins in Vernon and goes all the way down to Penticton. There are few lakes parallel to the Okanagan, but they are smaller. Kelowna Area is more dense populated then the north part. The fruit orchards start in Vernon, and with some breaks, they run through Kelowna to the south of the Valley. The microclimate of the Valley creates some ideal environment for growing apples, pears, plums, apricots, peaches and cherries. By Canadian standards, that is a dry area, but the lakes supplies the irrigation water.
