A place to stay forever

Lake-lovers, rejoice! Penticton, located in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, is nestled right between Okanagan and Skaha Lakes. Since the summers are warm, these lakes, with their golden beaches and crystal clear waters, bring the tourists to town. Despite not having any bars or restaurants geared specifically to the LGBT community, there's plenty to do, from kayaking and boating to fishing and floating on inner-tubes – and you'll feel welcome the whole time. Prefer dry land? Take a hike at Munson Mountain Park, following easy hiking trails that lead to breathtaking 360-degree views of the Okanagan Lake. Visiting during the winter months? Don't miss skiing at Apex Mountain Resort!
