This region of British Columbia offers the canoer and kayaker a chance to enjoy warm, pleasant climate, the joy of seeing orchards in bloom or in fruit. The smell of sage . The ponderosa pine dotting the hillsides, the mountains hiding cool blue coloured lakes and streams. This area is bustling with history. Watch for the grape orchards and wineries that overlook the valley.
Spectacular scenery is everywhere.
