Fintry is a small community in British Columbia, Canada.[1] It lies on the west shore of Okanagan Lake, Шаблон:Convert north of the city of Kelowna, and Шаблон:Convert south of Vernon. It has about 50 homes and is at the bottom of a three kilometre steep windy road off West Side Road. There are a few public beaches as well as a provincial campground.

Shorts Creek, once known as the Elk River and Rivière à la Biche, is a medium sized stream that runs through the middle of the community.[2] The creek is named after Captain Thomas Dolman Shorts, a ship captain for the Canadian Pacific Railway Lake and River Service steamboats on Okanagan Lake who was the first non-native to land at the creek and the surrounding area. Fintry Falls, accessed via a steep stairway, is located in a small canyon where Shorts Creek drops into the town toward the lake.
