Lake View Spots in Summerland
This Summerland list has 27 places: 11 wineries, 7 beaches, 5 parks and trails and 4 others. Among them, 19 welcome dogs and 13 have a patio. Of the 27, 6 are seasonal and close for part of the year. Our picks here include Giant's Head Mountain Park, one of our Local Favourites: Summerland's volcanic landmark, with a 360-degree summit view of the lake and orchards and a time capsule set for 2067; and Powell Beach Park, one of our Hidden Gems: Trout Creek's shady swimming beach, with picnic tables under the trees, a softball field and tennis courts alongside.
Open Now is based on each place’s listed hours. Hours can change for holidays, seasons or special closures — check with the venue before you go.
