North American Van Lines: The Best of Vernon Moving Companies

Surrounded by natural beauty and serving as the commercial centre of North Okanagan, Vernon is a wonderful place to consider for a relocation.

Activities and Attractions in Vernon

Nature attractions have always been one of the biggest reasons why people like living in Vernon. The city is surrounded by three lakes and beautiful expanses of wild grasslands and Douglas fir trees, making it a wonderful sight to see year-round.

Hiking is also a great activity during the warmer months, and there are numerous trails to choose from, including those on Turtle Mountain and near the Kalamalka Lookout.

Hanging out on Okanagan Lake is another major pastime here, and you can spend your day exploring it on the Spirit of the Okanagan, a cruise ship that serves up great food and drinks.
