Located along the shoreline of Okanagan Lake, Wharf Park is a peaceful, scenic space with a rich history and deep roots in the community. Once home to the historic CPR train dock at Mill Bay, this site played a key role in Naramata’s early fruit industry, serving as the shipping port for the Naramata Co-op packinghouse. Today, it’s a favorite spot for locals and visitors looking to enjoy the lake, soak in the views, and connect with the area's past.
The park features:
A public wharf with a ladder—ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or practicing your best dive
Park benches and picnic spots offering sweeping views of Okanagan Lake
Quiet paths and natural landscaping, perfect for a relaxed stroll along the water
Public art, including Transitions: A Legacy in Stone, commemorating Naramata’s centennial with time capsules buried onsite
Recent upgrades have improved accessibility and safety, including new landscaping, realigned roadways, irrigation, and turf, all while maintaining the park’s laid-back charm.
Wharf Park is a peaceful gathering place, a nod to Naramata’s past, and a perfect stop for those seeking calm, beauty, and a little adventure on the water.
To find Wharf Park, head to 1st Street between Anna Avenue and 3rd Street. Street parking is available nearby.
