The majesty of the desert on full display
The community lies along the US – Canada border in the footprint of the Cascade Mountains in the South Okanagan. This is an area of the Okanagan that boasts Canada’s only desert.
Here you will find the authentic Okanagan experience, where roadside fruit stands abound, life is uncluttered, and the activities are endless. Where to start? Try golf, a visit to a vineyard, go for a swim, wakeboard, build sandcastles, go fishing, take a desert interpretive tour. The options appear endless. And your kids will find the Osoyoos area a fun filled fantasyland. Where walking to the ice cream parlour in bare feet is part of the daily ritual. This is a return to the simpler, more relaxed family vacation of old.
