The Jeannie Smith dedicated tree is within Wharf Park located on 1st Street across from Anne Avenue. The museum is not too far from the park just around the corner on Robinson Avenue. Well worth a visit during the summer months only.

Naramata is probably the quietest community you'll encounter in the Okanagan Valley, but it's also one of the most unique. It dates back to the early 1900s.
Wharf Park borders Okanagan Lake and offers an abundance of panoramic views, walkways with numerous dedicated benches and trees along the way, picnic areas with tables to enjoy a warm summer day.
Today, this quiet village of just over 2,000 people offers you charming and unique treats through its thriving cottage industries.
In the early days, this community was a cultural arts center for concerts, plays, operas and regattas.
History tells a story of the village founder's affinity for the occult and that he came by the town name at a séance he attended that was held by the local postmaster’s wife.
The séance celebrated the spirit of a Sioux chief, Naramata. And the town that was named after her means 'Smile of the Manitou'.
