Reviews of Paddlewheel Park & Beach (Park)

Kayla Zawada

Such a great beach!! Has a lovely beach, very clean and a big park well.

Kathy Burwell

The park is nice but the beach and water need to have the rocks dredged out! ????

Chewy Benito

Usually really busy. Atleast when I seem to go. It's nice though and has plenty for the kids to do.

Shane Halfyard

Great park for kids with a nice beach and lake to swim in. Lots of green space to run around too.

Never been there

Beverly Rice

Got to the launch just after 7am and the gates were closed and locked.. waited for half hour and no one showed and couldn't get a hold of anyone

Tia Marie

Great place to go with the family (kids). Bathroom on site, store across the street is very convinient. The playground there is always a win for the kiddos. Only downfall is the duck, and geese.

David Marsh

If you are in the area ( salmon arm) nice park and beach to visit.

Summer ambience (even in Feb)

Amy Flater

We love this beach especially with little kids. The park, beach and bathroom are all close together, and it is often not a very busy beach which is especially nice these days.

brian smith

Great park and my daughter absolutely loves to stop here and play on the swings and many other pieces of equipment that they have. I find that there is always parking and that Incan launch my boat when needed. The background is stunning and one of my favorite places in Vernon. It is worth a hour of your time to check out this gem of a park.

Johnny M

Beautiful Park!

Leiah Bauer

The water had a nice shallow walk out and there was a large grassy area with playground for the kids but the beach was more like a tilled garden, rather than a sandy beach. Very dirty with lots of goose poop to dodge.

Marie- Helene Kynigos

I walk by often at every season.

Kelly McCaig

Nice sand in the water, park is new, spacious grass area.

Darlene Keppler

Beautiful park, just watch out for geese poop!!

Heather Lueck

Very pretty with lots of space and nice playground for kids. Loved the swings. Pretty colours for winter too! Quite a bit of goose poop but also lovely to see so many geese. Very "Canadian" feeling!

Next to Kalamalka Beach, this is the best spot on the water in Vernon. Great playground for small kids. Huge park area to run and play. Sail boats and speed boats coming and going.

Aaron Arsenault

Awesome little park, kid loves it

James Abrahams

Lots of goose poop and ants on the grass. Some shaded areas on the beach. Not too busy when I've gone. The Osprey nest is pretty cool.

Lots of goose poop

Cheryl Roy

Nice place but charged for basicly having to park. " Really"!!!!

kayla huard

Was alright but more dirt than sand and the geese take over.

Kyle Newton

Good sandy beach with a good park for the kids as well. Some shady areas beneath big trees, too. And public washrooms.

Maria Petz

Love it

Debra Austin

It's a nice park.

Captain Spike

Aside from the geese and their droppings, great park. Especially for families with kids.

Matthew Morton

Quite small otherwise great sandy beach

Taylor C

Very nice park, not a lot of parking.

Duncan Merriman

A fun park with a great playground for the kids, lots of grass, and a decent little beach as well. A bit noisy during summer with the boat launch nearby, and a decent helping of goose poop costs this place a star ???????? But it’s a lovely spot for a picnic or a wedding. Experienced both here!

Joshua Lafleur

Rocky beach, great place for dogs - stay away if you are not a dog lover. There are spots for fishing, lots of space for seating and nice refreshing lake water of course. Great place to come for a picnic with a few benches available for use.

Tomas Nutter

First class boat launch. $5 for the day to park Is definitely worth the launch

Eve Whitfield

Beautiful I love it

Ken Bauer

Sand is more like dirt

Ryan Smylski

Robert Scafe

Boat launch is great...as well as beach ,tennis courts and picnic area

Joyce Long

awesome place for a family gathering

sofia Kozachenko

This park by far has my least favourite beach in the whole Okanagan. The sand is very fine and dirty (almost black in some places), there’s too much geese poop, the swim area is very close to the boats and is quite small. Parking lot is very dusty. The grassy area of the park itself fine, the view is also beautiful and the playground is quite nice, but the beach itself is ruining the impression.

Leonard Letawsky

Very peaceful , quaint " get-a-way " Park Family Laughter certainly fills the air well. A Park to be proud of .

Roxy H

Beautiful. Nice playground for kids. Picnic tables.

Christina c

A nice playground, however excess geese have made the grassy area disgusting despite efforts to clean it up. The sand is more dirt like than anything.

Jeff H

Clean and well taken care of. Beach has beautiful trees for shade. Play ground perfect for my littles, 1 & 2 y\os. Good for older as well.

Vanessa Jossy

amazing scenery go there every night to watch as they pull in the boats

Murray Ververda

Great space for families and larger groups. Excellent facilities and a covered picnic area. The water gets deep quickly so keep an eye on smaller children or uneasy swimmers.

Jeff Gaudry

Always a great place to bring kids, Sandy beach, well groomed playground, tennis basketball courts.

Helio Holdings

It's a nice place

Brent Colley

Russel Relling

Paddlewheel is a great beach, not too large. Has wheel chair water access, boat launch, tennis courts, beach volleyball, basketball hoop. Grass is nice with lots of shade near or close to the water.

Al Harrison

Smaller beach with playground and public washrooms. Nice area with large patch of grass, also 1/2 basketball court and full tennis courts. Boat launch and paid boat trailer parking available.

Christine Molaison

Gre Beach with lots of shade, parking and clean facilities. The water is a tad merky.

Doug Drinkwater

Nice boat launch. There are great RCMP volunteers helping check for invasive species and making sure everyone has everything they need for a safe trip. We did bump into an a**hole boat charter guy who we as rushing and pushy around the boat launch.

Alaina Young

Nice beach that's not too rocky on the feet. Shallow with calm waves.

Great park and the beach is clean as well

Colby Smith

Very busy boat launch hard to find parking and a bit of a wait

Clean beach n water

This has remained a great go to, despite the boat launch traffic. Clean park, reasonable beach, great parking and excellent public washrooms. Oh, and a tennis court if your nose is far enough in the air.
