About & History

Established, green, and self-contained.

Shannon Lake winds gracefully around Shannon Lake Golf Course and the lake itself, giving many streets a scenic, resort-style backdrop. Housing ranges from mid-century single-family homes and mature acreages to modern luxury builds, lakefront properties, gated golf-course townhomes, and low-rise condos, a genuinely rich mix for a single neighbourhood.

It's known for a strong community feel and family-friendly streetscapes, and it's notably more central than Glenrosa or Smith Creek, just minutes from Highway 97, with quick access to the Westbank commercial hubs (Walmart, Superstore, Canadian Tire) and reduced commute times into downtown Kelowna.

Location & Geography

West of Highway 97, inland from the lakeshore.

Shannon Lake sits west of Highway 97. West Kelowna's seven neighbourhoods split east-west along the highway, not strictly north-south. Heading north from Glenrosa (the southernmost neighbourhood) through Smith Creek, Shannon Lake is next, with West Kelowna Estates and Westside Road continuing further north from there. It's an inland community, built around its namesake lake rather than Okanagan Lake itself.

Mount Boucherie itself sits just east, across Highway 97, visible from Shannon Lake, but on the other side of the highway from it. Shannon Lake Road is the main artery connecting Highway 97 through to Glenrosa, and during peak school-drop-off and commute times, traffic along its single-lane corridors can slow down noticeably.

Steep, rewarding day hikes with 360-degree views of the lake and the whole West Kelowna benchland.

Backcountry

Crown Land, Northwest

The upper hills extend into Crown wilderness for off-road recreation, hiking, and snowshoeing.

Worth knowing: streets near the lake and golf course are relatively flat and walkable, but homes up on the Shannon Ridge or Tallus Ridge developments sit on steeper inclines, so solid winter tires matter during snowy spells.

Tallus Ridge is one of West Kelowna's fastest-growing developments, with sleek modern farmhouses, executive single-family homes, and contemporary townhomes bordering green space reserves.
