Rattlesnake Point is the incredibly scenic tip of a rocky peninsula on Kalamalka Lake in Vernon, British Columbia. It is located in the very popular Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, which is one of the top tourism destinations in the Okanagan Valley. Rattlesnake Point can be reached by any of the trailheads within the park and is generally around a 6 km hike round trip. The trails take you through picturesque desert settings and grasslands full of wildflowers in the spring. The point has no beach but rather gorgeous coves with blue water that are great for diving and swimming.

Consider taking your next vacation to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, where you will find lovely Kalamalka Lake. Kal Lake is in fact so gorgeous that I would put it up there with some of the best lakes in the world. It is a mid-sized lake that stretches about 16 km from the city of Vernon to the small beach town of Oyama. The lake is epic at any time of the year but is especially vibrant in the summer months when its water temperatures heat up and create a reaction called light scattering.
