Edgewood
Located 20 km from the Needles Ferry, Edgewood is a small relaxed community, off the beaten path. Forestry and farming are the economic mainstays of the community, with several retail businesses, including the Edgewood General Store, a post office, credit union and Carol's Garden Cafe.
If you are an outdoor enthusiast, you will find plenty of fishing, hiking, hunting, swimming, boating, and biking opportunities in the vicinity.
THE MONASHEE CIRCLE DRIVE
The Highway 6 Hotsprings Route, east of Vernon, includes Coldstream, Lumby, Cherryville and the Arrow Lakes. Less than 30 minutes from Kelowna, this meandering highway bridges the Okanagan with the Kootenays and is one of the great drives in BC. Visitors can experience daytrips or weekends that mix the rolling countryside of the Okanagan grasslands with rainforests and alpine meadows, all in a fantastic theatre of rivers, lakes, waterfalls and mountain peaks. Since the 1960's, artists have congregated in this inspiring land, and have retained the colour, independence and the expression of the culture here. If it is nature that you are looking for, away from the crowds, we are the Trail Capital of Canada!
Several natural attractions pique visitor's interest, including waterfalls, wildlife, and species of birds such as the formidable Bald Eagle and the graceful Osprey.
Eagle Creek Provincial Park and Campground, is a great place to view the valley, enjoy a picnic, or just relax on the sandy beach. Boat launching facilities are available.
Fauquier
The charming village of Fauquier is nestled along the east shore of the Arrow Lakes, where Highway 6 meets the Needles Ferry.
Fauquier is a small community of 300, providing visitors with a friendly, small town atmosphere and many services. A motel, B&B, Fauquier Esso, J&S Snacks and the Mushroom Addition, offer visitors all the amenities you will need.
Golfers will want to stop at the Fauquier Golf Club's nine-hole course, just yards from the water's edge and ferry landing.
Wildlife is plentiful, making hiking and cycling a different adventure every time. Birds of prey, deer, game birds and other animals call the area home. With a boat launch nearby, Fauquier is a favorite spot for anglers, offering impressive Rainbow Trout.
