Breathe, Relax and Enjoy in Princeton, BC

|
Princeton is only an hour and a bit away from Penticton and a couple hours from both Kamloops and Kelowna - so you're still close to the shopping of bigger centres. An abundance of provincial parks, campgrounds, swimming holes and natural recreation opportunities abound, such as Bromley Rock, Allison lake, Manning Park, Apex Mountain Ski Resort, Big White Ski Resort, Rock Ridge Canyon Retreat & Conference Centre, and the Princeton Golf Course. We have a wide variety of community events to keep you entertained. The Princeton Posse provide us with our fix of live hockey excitement. Princeton's Traditional Music Festival has become a popular annual event and the Fall Fair and Racing Days are both perennial local favourites. We also have live comedy shows, community theatre and a fascinating museum chock full of interesting artifacts from Princeton's history. |
Mining, forestry, agriculture and ranching drive Princeton's economy. Tourism has really picked up as well, as lower mainland "cottage" mentality grows more popular. Princeton makes for an excellent summer or winter retreat.
The recreational communities of Tulameen, Coalmont, Missezula Lake, East Gate, Osprey Lake and Bankeir are extremely popular due to their sky-blue lakes, the alpine mountains and fresh, clean air. Anyone with an active outdoor lifestyle will love it here. Nature frequently wanders into town to pay us a visit - you will come across deer, elk, moose, marmits, eagles and even the occasional bear.
