On the eastern shores of Okanagan
Lake you will find a wonderful community surrounded by vineyards,
orchards and the finest views of the Valley. Naramata, BC
was founded in 1907. It was established as an agricultural
area but quickly became known as a cultural centre. People
from all over would arrive by boat for plays, concerts,
operas and regattas. In 1914 the Kettle Valley Railway was
completed and Naramata has new link to the rest of BC. The
Kettle Valley Railway construction through the Naramata
area was one of the most difficult due to the intense volume
of rock.
Naramata was founded by John Moore
Robinson. It is named after Naramattah, the wife of the
Sioux Indian Chief Big Moose and means the Smile of the
Manitou. John Robinson also founded the townships of Summerland
and Peachland.
When in Naramata you can explore
the many orchards, vineyards and even take a nice hiking
trip along the historic railway. If you are looking for
some more adventurous hiking there are trails up the rugged
mountain tops.
Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park
offers secluded bays and sandy campground. You can take
in the unspoiled habitat on bike, horseback or on foot.
The sunny beaches of Manitou Park are a great place to spend
the day swimming, boating, and having a picnic. The Naramata
Heritage Inn & Spa is the perfect location to relax
and unwind and if you want to learn a little more about
the area visit the Naramata Heritage Museum. Home to many
artists, the local shops are a wonderful place to find local
creations.
Since there is no road access
from the north, Naramata is visited only by those who realize
all it has to offer. Peace, serenity, golden sunsets and
beautiful views from all locations, Naramata is truly a
wonderful place to visit or call home.
