Kaleden is a small historic community located minutes south of Penticton in the Okanagan valley in the province of British Columbia Canada. Overlooking Skaha Lake, Kaleden is made up of picturesque vineyards and lakeview orchards. Visitors are offered a relaxed environment with good bed and breakfasts as well as excellent beaches within the community. In 2011 there were unconfirmed reports that the local area was suffering from a childhood obesity epidemic as a result of traditional outdoor summer activities being slowly replaced with sedentary 21st century technological leisure activities.
