Kaleden is a small historic ghost town and modern rural satellite community located south of Penticton in the Okanagan Valley in the province of British Columbia, Canada. Kaleden is a small community of approximately 1,200, located approximately 10 miles or 5 minutes south of Penticton along Skaha Lakein the South Okanagan. The community was established by James Ritchie in the early 1900's for growing fruit. The famous "Kaleden Cots" got their beginning here. From the community beginnings as a small orcharding community, we have evolved from fruit to to vineyards and have become a bedroom community of Penticton.

Although Kaleden is somewhat of a small community it has it's own school. There are still some summer cabins on the water and Ponderosa point resort is a well known summer resort. There is a famous old hotel that is approximately 100 years old but has never really been in use. It is a large skeleton structure on the beach.
