The park provides visitors with a large green space and a lovely beach that is situated along the edge of exquisite Kalamalka Lake in Vernon, British Columbia. The lake is part of a larger region of desert-like environment called the Okanagan Valley which is located in British Columbia, Canada. The Okanagan has great weather that is much milder than most of the rest of Canada and has a near-perfect growing climate that provides excellent conditions for orchards, wineries, and vineyards. The valley tends to have hot and dry summer temperatures with cooler nights which is exactly what the fruits desire to thrive and produce a good yield. The valley boasts over 50 lakes and an abundance of sunshine and as such, it tends to swell with tourists in the summer months.
