It was right across the street from our motel and it was a delight to walk along it. The flowers were absolutely beautiful. One amazing aspect of the walkway is that the gardens are cared for by volunteer citizens of Osoyoos who take pride in keeping the gardens looking lovely . Leave a Comment Address: Along Lake Osoyoos

This sculpture is located at the entrance to the NK'MIP Desert and Heritage Centre which is located on Osoyoos Indian Band land on the east side of Osoyoos. The metal sculpture is the work of Smoker Marchand, who is a member of the Colville native band, which is part of the Okanagan First Nations.The sculpture has been very popular with visitors and is definitely worth stopping to see.

The most remarkable feature found near Osoyoos is the spotted. The lake's water contains very high concentrations of minerals. In the old days, Indians used the lake for bathing and healing purposes. In the summer, the water evaporates and the minerals crystalize, forming large spot-like circles on the surface of the lake.
Spotted Lake is rather hard to... spot. It's right off the highway. It is on private land so you'd have to stop on the freeway and hop out (always a dangerous proposition) to have a look. In our case, we blew right by it and ended up trying to look for it on some desolate mountain dirt road! Leave a Comment Directions: Highway 3 to Keremeos, about 9 km West of Osoyoos.

Having a car helps to visit the Okanagan Valley. Well having a bike is even better! I took this picture on my way back to Vancouver, on HWY 3 just about 6 km away from Osoyoos. The views on the valley were magnificient and you can see Osoyoos in the horizon. Leave a Comment

This weird looking lake contains one of the highest concentration of magnesium sulfate, calcium, sodium and other rare elements, and when water evaporates with the heat, the element deposits show up in this weird formation.
This is a privately owned lake, therefore you can't get to it but you can stop by the road side and admire this natural beauty! Leave a Comment

Osoyoos Lake averages 24 degrees in the summer and is one of the warmest lakes in Canada. You can rent a boat or sea-do and explore the lake, or simply put air in your favourite floaty and chill out near the shore in the areas roped off from boaters. It's heaven! Leave a Comment

The Okanagan Valley has the perfect weather to grow grape and make prize winning wine recognized internationnally. There are dozens of winery to visit, including a native one, small, large, and a fruit winery called Silver Sage that I really recommend. Leave a Comment
