Welcome to Lake Country, Okanagan Lakeshore living at it’s finest! As its name implies, Lake Country is defined by water; Okanagan Lake, Kalamalka Lake, Wood Lake and Ellison Lake, plus numerous mountain lakes!
Incorporated in 1995, Lake Country is home to four, distinct Okanagan neighbourhood communities, each rich in culture and history but with the Okanagan lakeshore lifestyle as a bond; Oyama, Okanagan Center, Carr’s Landing and Winfield, which provides the main commercial nucleus.
The Lake Country valley is the start of the Okanagan wine trail, rich in orchards and vineyards! Centrally located between Vernon and Kelowna, the area offers a pleasant, rural Okanagan lifestyle for commuters. Residents of the area enjoy mild winters and hot summers so get ready for fun! Year-round outdoor activities are more than available including skiing, water sports, cycling, golf and so much more!
