It lies 12.9 km north-north-west of Penticton, BC (from Penticton, BC: bearing 331°T), and is situated 7.1 km west of Naramata.

Historically, this land was the territory of the Syilx people, whose deep connection to the valley's rhythms still resonates in the land's enduring spirit.

The cultural character of Summerland is one of quiet diligence, a community that finds its pulse in the changing seasons and the harvest. The iconic Kettle Valley Railway trestles stand as stoic reminders of the engineering feats that opened this valley, a tangible link to a past where ambition and hard work shaped the landscape.
