Very nice town , cycle friendly. quiet in the mornings and busy by noon.
Lake water looked brown in most places , but lots of people boating and swimming.

Osoyoos, and Osoyoos Lake, were the #2 "Things-to-See" on our recent mainland BC road trip, and BOTH sites did not disappoint us!
A really lovely town, very clean, with a great tourist vibe. And Osoyoos Lake, especially from top of the hill, is just breaktaking. Well done Osoyoos! Cheers, Paul

Warmest lake in Canada. So many beaches to enjoy, many of them dog friendly. Wonderfully lake to swim in, but also a great lake for any watersports. And when you are done in the water you have all of Osoyoos to explore.

Osoyoos Lake is a gem, we love visiting here and staying for vacations! Loads of beach areas to lay around or swim in, plenty of parking, and hot, very, very hot in the summer!!

We have always found that this lake is in a unique valley setting, sadly it was smoky or slight haze during our time here. Lot's to see & do during your time here!

I came here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This place is just like Surrey. It’s a real dump.

Walking along the lake shore was such a wonderful relaxing and de-stressing experience. It did help, the time of year did help create this tranquility for us. I would seriously recommend a walk along the lake in the off season. It really cleared out my mind of all the "junk" that was there.

We are spending 2 months at a lakeside resort. Waking up every morning with the view of Anarchist Mountain framing Osoyoos Lake? Amazing. We prefer it over an out of country sun destination.

This is a great day trip from anywhere in the Okanagan. There is a wide range of dining options and outdoor and indoor activities available in this little resort town.
I would recommend avoiding visits on Monday and Tuesday in the winter as most retailers and restaurants are closed.

Enjoyed our visit here. Lots of shoreline to explore. One can sit by the waterside, read a book or just day dream.

Whats the best RV campground (Travel Trailer) closest to Lake Osoyoos? Any spots on the water?

The nicest campground on Osoyoos Lake hands down no contest is the one at Haynes Point! It is just south of the town, access from Highway 97 on south west of lake and if you google Haynes Point you can see all the pictures and how it is on a peninsula right in the lake. Swiws Provincial Park. Reserve through Discover Camping on website. Magnificent! Camping spots available on line now.
What's the weather like in the winter

It's fairly cold, eg. 5- but sunny. Skies are often gray in winter, but awesome spring, summer, fall.
What hotel is closest to the lake?

Sun Beach Motel is right on the water and is one of the only motels with a dock. It is also the only one that faces south. The rest face north onto the lake or to the east.
