Penticton River Channel

The Penticton River Channel is a carefully engineered waterway in Penticton, British Columbia, designed to manage river flow and prevent flooding. It reroutes parts of the Okanagan River to control water levels, especially during heavy rains or snowmelt, protecting nearby communities and farmland. The channel also helps improve water quality, supports aquatic habitats, and maintains safe recreational access. Overall, it’s a vital infrastructure that balances flood protection, environmental health, and land use in the region.
