A Quick Overview
You’ll find the charming and rural community called Ellison northeast of Kelowna and approximately halfway up the Okanagan Valley. It’s a community made up of small farms on fertile acreages. Those who choose to call this community home, however, are still within a short 15-minute drive to all the cultural attractions and shopping destinations of Kelowna.
Ellison is situated in a valley with Douglas fir forests and an arid grassland ecosystem has streams that run through it. This makes it ideal for planting wheat, grains, and grasses that support local stables and horse farms. This is considered Kelowna’s “horse country.” Other agricultural endeavors include wineries and new plans for agritourism.
Frequent Fliers
Those who travel for business frequently will often choose a home in Ellison because it’s adjacent to the Kelowna International Airport, one of Canada’s busiest airports!
Whether you travel for business or pleasure, Kelowna International Airport (YLW) can connect you to Canada’s largest cities (Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver) on non-stop flights. You can fly directly on international flights to the United States (Seattle. WA or Phoenix, AZ) or to the sunny shores of Cabo San Lucas or Cancun, Mexico. For flights to intercontinental destinations, you can conveniently connect through Canada’s larger airports.
YLW airport is dedicated to a growth plan that will continue to serve the increasing needs of area travelers as the Okanagan continues to grow year over year.
The University of British Columbia – Okanagan

Provincial Park
Ellison Provincial Park is often described as the “heart” of Ellison’s recreational opportunities. The over 200-hectare forest features countless trails for horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking.
As you’re exploring the numerous trails, keep your eyes and ears open for wildlife. If you’re lucky, you may spot some of the park’s wildlife. Deer, porcupines, and squirrels are frequently sighted by tourists.
The park offers breathtaking views of Okanagan Lake, Kalamalka Lake, and even a romantic waterfall. It’s a very special getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.
