Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory

Radio astronomy facility near White Lake, with seasonal public tours among large antennas.

The Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory is a working research site, not a roadside attraction, but it is one of the more distinctive stops near Okanagan Falls. Large antennas sit in the quiet basin around White Lake, listening rather than looking.

Public access is limited and seasonal, so check tour details before going. If the timing works, it adds a very different kind of science stop to a wine-and-lake day.
