SS Sicamous
A paddlewheel steamer launched on Okanagan Lake in 1914, now a Canadian national historic site and museum where you can board and explore.
SS Sicamous was a paddlewheel passenger steamer built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1914 for Okanagan Lake. It carried passengers and fruit across the lake until it was retired in 1936 and moored on the Penticton shore. It is now open as a museum, where visitors can see the first-class dining room, the wheelhouse and the crew quarters. Other historic vessels and a model display of the Kettle Valley Railway are nearby. Admission is about CAD 15, and opening hours are shorter in winter. It is located at the western end of Okanagan Beach.
