Jump off a rock, or cool off in the river at Princeton's favorite local spot, Bromley Rock. 

Swan Lake Sanctuary is a bird watchers paradise with a network of trails.

Explore the nearby Castle ruins from nearly 120 years ago! More of an abandoned cement plant than Medieval relic, but if your kids still believe in Santa...

Nestled in Keremeos, the Old Grist Mill boasts the distinction of being the last operational waterwheel flour mill in British Columbia, dating back to 1877. 

Secluded and serene, Nickel Plate Lake offers fishing, hiking and winter recreation. Nearby is Lookout Mountain that overlooks the glaciated Nickel Plate Lake. The site has a cartop boat launch.  4x4 recommended.
