Entertainment & Activities
This is a fun afternoon in the summer, floating down the channel. Rent tubes from Coyote Cruises, or take your own (for free). If you take your own you need to drop another car or bike either midway down (by the Home Hardware) or else at Skaha Lake. It can take 3+ hours to get down to Skaha Lake because the lower part of the channel moves slowly. Bring your sunscreen. If you have a snorkel you can watch the fish.
