We’ve broken a couple of our own rules here – those
niggling ones that deal with highway length and speed limits. Our shortest
DH, which hugs the length of the eastern shore of Skaha Lake, is only 9.1 km
(5.6 mi) long between the 50 kmh (30 mph) speed zones of Okanagan Falls and
Penticton. It’s 11.4 km (7.1 mi), if you stretch it to include the
irresistible S-curves inside the speed zone at the northern end. Too short
to be called a Destination Highway? Perhaps. But we simply can’t pass up a
well-paved, lakeside run that’s twisty from top to bottom, especially when
the alternative is the Hwy 97 freeway wannabe. If you’re passing through,
it’s on your way; if you’re biking the area, it links up well with other
DHs and TEs. Besides, rules were made to be broken.
