Okanagan Safe Harbour

Features and Things To Do:

Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour provides safety for boaters during a storm with one of the only safe harbours in the area. The harbour contains two docks for emergency and pedestrian use, a small swimming beach and a boat launch. 

Notice to Boaters - Update - June 29, 2010 -- the main recreational boat launch is temporarily open again for use with higher water levels and a temporary repair planned. View News Release. It's expected it will be temporarily closed this summer while permanent repairs are made.

When available this boat launch is suitable for smaller recreational boats and trailers due to lower lake water levels.
