Kelowna Lake Country Area

Lake Country, the name says it all. Just north of Kelowna, and five minutes from Kelowna International Airport, Lake Country offers the finest authentic rural experience in the Okanagan.

Home to three major lakes – Okanagan, Wood, and Kalamalka – below the lush valley hills, Lake Country has unparalleled natural beauty. Lake Country offers something for every member of the family. Fish or wakeboard on Wood Lake, hike Spion Kop, cycle the Okanagan Rail Trail, tour wineries along Lake Country’s Scenic Sip Wine Route, explore working farms and orchards, visit a working artist, or zipline above the lakes and forest. Be sure to save some time to swim or simply relax on the beach and enjoy our warm Okanagan sun.

History of Lake Country

Surrounded by mountains, lakes and beautiful scenery in the sunny Okanagan Valley, Lake Country is a municipality comprised of four communities; Winfield, Okanagan Centre, Oyama, and Carr’s Landing, all located on the benches above Okanagan Lake and Wood Lake.

Incorporated in June 1995, Lake Country is the heart of the Okanagan, with an abundance of sun, water, mountains, and friendly people.

The Lake Country area offers much to see and do, and has a large agricultural base, with abundant fruit orchards, some of which have been in existence since the early 1900s. Lake Country calls itself the Apple Capital of Canada, producing over 35% of all apples grown in Canada. Grape growing for wine making is another important agricultural activity.
