Okanagan Lake, Vernon, B.C. -- Kin Beach

Looking south over Okanagan Lake from Kin Beach in Vernon, B.C., Canada. (Sorry. Not the best video resolution.)

Okanagan Lake is a celebrated all-sports lake. Great angling. Crisp water.

Home to Canada's most famous water monster Ogopogo. The first recorded sighting of Ogopogo was in 1872.

only went to that beach once when I went to Army Cadet training there for my first year, my second year I couldn't go to the beach because of the forest fires, and the Staff Cadets had to get ready for their mess dinner so they didn't want to take us. Probably wont be back in Vernon for 2 years now. Wonderful area Vernon is, nice people, get to meet very interesting people from around the globe.

Tasha, it's too bad you never made it back to the beaches. Was a hot summer. I love all the cadets and what they do for Vernon. I've lived here 45 years and recall when the Army Camp was three times its size in the 1970s, housing thousands of Cadets. Was so cool. Still is, just smaller barracks. Thank you for doing what you do for Canada. Hope you do make it back here. Cadets are fine upstanding young people who bring life to our city. Stay safe and keep up the great work.

I hope you like it here. The weather has been very nice of late. Today it was 36 c. Very hot!!! Wishing you a great time when you arrive.

Your Grandfather was a very lucky man. Nice location for a home.

One of my favorite memories of Kin Beach, from so many memories, was that of my eighth birthday. Some friends and I frolicked and played. Such a great time in life. Heading out to the Okanagan Landing area always seemed like a vacation... great feeling when a kid.

Earliest memory of the beach is from around 1973-'74 -- the whole beach from one end to the other was plastered with beach goers.

Hole of a town !!

It has its bad points. It has its charm. Like any city or town -- there is good, there is bad. It is not the town of old. But, so much better than some.

I totally agreed with your previous message.

You hit the nail on the head with each downfall presented. I wanted to keep the post up.

However, I deleted the message due to the use of an expletive in your rather eloquent post.

I was there visiting my grandparents and the only thing that worried me was when i was swimming out to the far boueys and through the seaweed that the stergen would come eat at my feet

I was at that beach last summer, saw some hot girls, that's all.

Thank you, I really enjoyed doing the freedom of the city this year and it was one of the most memorable experiences I've had that summer. I will make it back to Vernon one way or another, either as a staff cadet on my final year or as a future CF Reservist as a volunteer for the summer. Thanks for being such a good host for both my past summers, Vernon really is an amazing city.
