From the Interior Salish word snpintktn, the name Penticton, is commonly translated as “a place to stay forever,” or more accurately, “a place where people live year-round.” For over 7,000 years, our region has been home to the Syilx First Peoples, who were instrumental in helping the first European fur traders travel through the Okanagan in the early 1800s
Penticton is located in the south central region of British Columbia, in an area known as the Okanagan Valley. It is one, of only two cities in the world, situated between two lakes – Okanagan Lake & Skaha Lake
Shimmering blue water, long stretches of sandy beach, vineyards, orchards, gentle mountains and a wide variety of outdoor activities await you here.
