Across the Lake Swim Skaha Lake

Sunday, August 9th, 2026

Skaha Lake, originally known as "Dog Lake" but with a local twist meaning "horse," is an absolutely gorgeous freshwater gem nestled between the southern tip of Penticton and Okanagan Falls in British Columbia's stunning Okanagan Valley.

The Across the Lake Swim Skaha Lake is no ordinary swim. The 11.8km is a point-to-point course starting in Penticton's Skaha Lake Park and finishing in Okanagan Falls. The water averages a delightful 23°C (74°F).

The 4.5km swim starts in beautiful Kaleden and also ends in Okanagan Falls.

The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, with the surrounding valley adding to the picturesque setting.

The 11.8km is done solo but not entirely alone, as each swimmer must be accompanied by their own support paddler. Paddlers are not required for the 4.5km swim. We do not supply paddlers, but we can help you find one.

All 11.8km participants will be tracked by GPS. Share the live event link so your friends and family can track you as you swim the length of Skaha Lake in real time.

The Across the Lake Swim respectfully acknowledges that the land on which we live and work is situated on the ancestral, unceded territory of the Syilx Nation.

The prices shown include all fees and taxes. No surprises at checkout!

Overview

The idea for this race stemmed from discussions about organizing a race in our area and having it be a fundraiser. As such, all proceeds from this race will go directly to Penticton Search and Rescue, a dedicated group of volunteers that are vital to our outdoor community.

This race takes place in the Three Blind Mice trail network, just outside of Penticton. This is a special place for many that play in the outdoors. The trails are amazing, thank to PACA and their stewardship. It's mostly single track! Some of it can be quite technical, while other parts are are super flowy.

Your race organizers are 5 friends with loads of trail running experience. Our goals are to show off the trails off the Mice and to ensure that each runner has a genuinely fun and rewarding experience.
