Fintry stream

Overview

Located on the scenic west shore of Okanagan Lake, Fintry, BC, is a quaint community that offers a tranquil escape just 24 kilometers north of Kelowna and 50 kilometers south of Vernon. With approximately 50 homes, Fintry is situated at the base of a three-kilometer steep and winding road off West Side Road, providing residents with a secluded and peaceful environment. The community is adorned with a few public beaches and a provincial campground, making it an ideal retreat for nature enthusiasts.

Shorts Creek, previously known as the Elk River and Rivière à la Biche, meanders through the heart of Fintry. This medium-sized stream holds historical significance, named after Captain Thomas Dolman Shorts, the first non-native to land at the creek and its surrounding area. Captain Shorts served as a ship captain for the Canadian Pacific Railway Lake and River Service steamboats on Okanagan Lake. Notably, Fintry Falls, accessible via a steep stairway, adds to the community's charm, residing in a small canyon where Shorts Creek cascades into the town towards the lake. Experience the beauty and history of Fintry, where natural wonders and a rich heritage converge in a serene lakeside setting.
