Kelowna sits at the centre of Okanagan wine country and its identity is built around the lake, the wine, and the outdoor life. Knox Mountain Park provides dramatic views and hiking minutes from downtown; Myra Canyon, southeast of the city, offers one of the finest cycling experiences in Canada along the old Kettle Valley Railway. The historic Father Pandosy Mission is the oldest non-indigenous settlement in the Okanagan. And then there are the wineries — dozens of them within a half-hour's drive, many of them on the slopes above Okanagan Lake with views to match the wine.
