Cosens Creek Falls, Vernon

Cosens Creek Falls is a gorgeous little waterfall that is situated within Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park on the outskirts of the city of Vernon, British Columbia. It isn’t a very well-known attraction and up until recently, not many people were even aware of its existence. it is a seasonal waterfall, so your experience at the falls will depend on what time of year you choose to visit. We visited at the end of winter in March and it was beautiful, but nothing too spectacular.

Kalamalaka Lakeview Drive Lookout

The Kalamalka Lakeview Drive Lookout is located along a 2.5 km section of the old highway 97 that was replaced by the newer highway. It sits high above what is Vernon, BC’s pride and joy, Kalamalka Lake. It provides sensational views of the well-known turquoise waters of Kalamalka Lake, along with the Okanagan Valley and its surrounding mountains. From here you will get a perfect view of Coldstream, as well as an extinct volcano known as Camels Hump. Even further in the distance on a clear day, you can even spot the snowcapped Monashee Mountain range. This small park includes convenient washrooms, picnic tables and is an excellent place to sit and enjoy the “Lake of Many Colours”.
