Discover VERNON

Children joyfully running along a sandy lakeshore.

Pristine lakes in endless depths of blues and greens. Shaded forests begging to be explored. Sweeping valleys, fertile vineyards and a tight-knit community that’s always up for something fun. Or interesting. Or both.

People dining outdoors, enjoying food among greenery, smiling and chatting.

And a trail system that’s earned us the title Trails Capital of BC. If any of that sounds good to you, we’re pretty sure you’re going to love this place. 

So come to Vernon, and experience it all for yourself. And as always, Happy Trails.
