Introduction

Bertram Creek Regional Park sits on the east shore of Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, British Columbia, about 18 hectares of lakeside green space converted into a community park. It has a pebble beach, a public dock, a boat launch and several lakeside trails, a local favourite for swimming, boating, birding and picnics, and a common venue for weddings and gatherings. Okanagan Lake is a famed warm-water lake in western Canada, pleasant in summer; backed by the dry, warm lakeside climate and shaded by pines, you can swim then walk the trail for views across to vineyards and ridges. Part of the Okanagan Lake Regional Park system, it joins lakeside parks along the shore into Kelowna's waterfront leisure belt.
