I had a wonderful weekend with my family visiting us in Penticton. And like always we love showing our family how beautiful Penticton is and all it has to offer.
Since Penticton is a hot, tourist place there are lots of great things to see and do in this beautiful nature.

The River Channel which runs from Okanagan Lake through Penticton to the other side of town to Skaha Lake. This channel is great for fishing and people tubing down the river, which is really packed in summer season.

You can see some people tubing down the channel.

Went for little walk on the other side of the Channel since it has a nice walking/biking trail.

My son walking on the bridge that goes over the Channel and where you can enjoy some golf.
Start up point for tubing down the channel. It takes about 1 hr to get to the midpoint of tubing down the river or you can go all the way down, which will take about 1.5hrs.
This is I, @joalvarez with my mother-in-law. This is the start of The River Channel, which is conected to Okanagan Lake.

We decided to take a drive to Osoyoos, which is about an hour away from Penticton for a little BB-Q and swim. Osoyoos beach.

My son always with his soccer ball. Had some delicious BB-Q and a nice evening swim.
