Coming in Hot

“Coming in Hot” has taken on a whole new meaning here in Vernon BC!

We like most of the province are having extremely Hot! Hot! Hot weather! This seems to be driving the Tourism staff to the nearby lakes on days off for relief. We have many amazing spots around Vernon that are really great down time escapes.  Last week one of our staff went to Echo Lake Fishing Resort and this week another is going to Oyama Lake Resort to spend their days off. 

One staff member has been spending her down time out at Evely Recreation site on Westside Road. This is a great location if you’re into a more economical rustic experience. Many of the staff prefer to explore sites that have cabins while others have no problem pitching a tent on a trail or recreation site. The choices are endless with hot spots for relaxation being within a half hour drive.

Wood Lake Resort, Dee Lake Resort, Pinus Lake Resort & Beaver Lake Resort are all spots one of us has visited. If you prefer pitching a tent Sugar Lake Recreation Site, Hidden Lake Recreation Site, Oyama Lake Recreation sites are great options. The abundance of small lakes in the outlying areas makes recreation sites and camping options plentiful you just need to know where to locate them.

The best way to find the much sought after recreation site or resorts in the outlying areas is purchase either a Thompson Okanagan Back Road Map Book or a Thompson Okanagan Forestry Map. Both of these resources are available at the Vernon Visitor Centre. No matter what kind of experience you prefer there is something for everyone here in Vernon BC ! !
