Peachland is a small town of about 5000 people in the Okanagan Valley, on the west side of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada. It was founded in 1897 by John Moore Robinson. It is approximately half an hour's drive south of the city of Kelowna and about a twenty minute drive north of Summerland. It is a growing community largely located on a steep sidehill with new residents coming from all across Canada. Located across from Peachland is Rattlesnake Island, home of the legendary Ogopogo.
