A great Par 3 course just down the road. Sharpen up your short game or go with that person who is learning golfing without the intimidation of a large course.

You can park at the Red Gate and come full circle back to your car in about an hour. More than likely tho you will stop at Juniper or Jade Bay and go for a swim.

This is an incredible beach if you don't mind the hike into it. Probably a good 1/2 hour walk or a short bike ride. You would park at the gate and walk thru the meadows down to a beach that doesn't see a whole lot of people. Well worth the hike down but bring a lunch, drinks, and your bathing suit.

Walking and Hiking
What can we say? The Rail Trail is our newest walking/biking trail that has just opened up over the past couple of years. The CN Rail was bought up and now locals and visitors can enjoy walking alongside Kalamalka Lake. We recommend parking at Kekuli Provincial Campsite and start your walk from there as parking may be easier and you would miss some of the congestion of cars and people.
