The location of the northbound Route90 bus stop is the gateway to an outdoor recreation and nature lover’s paradise on a non-motorized yet paved section of a transportation corridor called Pelmewash Parkway that allows for safe and enjoyable walking, running, cycling, and rollerblading. Pelmewash Parkway also allows quick access to other amazing opportunities such as the world class Okanagan Rail Trail and Spion Kop forested hiking trails which offer further outdoor recreation and stunning views of the surrounding valleys, lakes, mountains, orchards, and wineries.
Pelmewash Parkway parallels the shore of Wood Lake, and the Okanagan Rail Trail parallels the shores of Wood Lake and Kalamalka Lake, both lakes of which are connected by a canal offering abundant chances for kayaking, paddle boarding, beach going, fishing, and swimming in pristine and tropical colored waters all within a five minute walk of the suite. Depending on the weather in winter time, there may even be cross country skiing and ice skating available on the naturally frozen lake. There is a bike and kayak available for you to use if you are interested but don’t have your own.
