Osoyoos Lake Veteran Memorial Park is nestled in the scenic Okanogan River Valley, just south of the US/Canadian Port of Entry. The park offers a stunning combination of sandy lakeshore, green lawns, and shade trees, providing a serene escape from the arid conditions of the area. It features a 300-foot sandy beach, a boat launch ramp, and a campground with various site options, making it an ideal spot for boating, fishing, swimming, and water sports. The park's tranquil atmosphere and picturesque surroundings create a perfect setting for relaxation and outdoor activities.
The park's location allows visitors to explore the surrounding hiking, biking, and horseback trails, such as the Similkameen Trail and Whistler Canyon Trail. The nearby Oroville Farmers Market and Lake Osoyoos State Park are also popular attractions. With its rich natural beauty and diverse recreational opportunities, Osoyoos Lake Veteran Memorial Park is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
The park's history is also noteworthy, having been previously known as Osoyoos Lake State Park before being sold to the city of Oroville and renamed in honor of veterans. This transformation reflects the community's commitment to preserving natural spaces while honoring those who have served.
