Beautiful park with plenty of activities for all ages! There’s a nice playground for kids and a swimming area with options to rent kayaks and jet skis. Campsites are well-maintained, and the bathrooms (with showers) were clean. While most sites don’t offer much privacy, the lake views and stunning sunsets more than make up for it. We even caught fireworks from the lake — such a fun bonus! We stayed at campsite 85 and really enjoyed our time here.

Such a beautiful, clean lake. The bathroom near our campsite had 4 individual showers and clean bathrooms. Beautiful view of the lake. Be prepared fir lots of boating noise in the summer, and I mean a lot! Campsite had great view of the water and the sunrise.

End of July it's hot weather. Take a cool clear water swim in the lake, paddleboard, jetski, go boating. Get bags of ice or maybe a 2 scoop ice cream cone at the concession/store there. You can camp almost right on the water, near a big grass field, under a shade tree - and there is also group camping. Free showers and bathrooms are cleaned daily. Kids playground, volleyball, and a hiking trail. I saw deer roam the campground while I watched the beautiful sunrise. This is an excellent place to go camping.

This is a nice park with camping and day use areas. There is a grass and tree covered area with picnic tables. At the lake's edge, there are grass or sand areas to set up your spot. They have an enclosed swimming area. There is a small store to make food and sundry products purchases. The bathroom has showers and are very clean.

Overall the campground was decent, but it was very crowded and the sites were packed close together. There’s no grass on the ground—just dirt—so it felt a bit dusty and dirty. On the bright side, the restrooms and showers were available and quite clean, and showers were free. Lake Chelan’s water is crystal clear, perfect for paddle boarding and swimming.

Lovely campground! Beautiful Lake! Rented a boat in town and had a few lovely days with the family. Has a swimming area, playground for kids. Only thing I wish it had more of is beach area. A wonderful place to go!

Great park. Beautiful area to walk and swim, the campsites if your tent camping are awesome..the water side ones are mostly hidden away in the tree canopy, chelan is always beautiful tho..there is a small store where u can rent kayaks and stuff like that, some groceries, but they have food and ice cream and coffee. U won't be disappointed

We visited Slidewaters as two adults and one child and paid $85 for all of us. 🏖️ Totally worth it! The water park is compact and easy to navigate — you don’t need to walk far between attractions. 👣 Great for families with kids! You can grab a bite right inside 🍔🍟 — burgers, fries, soda, and even ice cream 🍦. It was pretty busy, but the atmosphere was still fun and enjoyable. 😎 Lots of slides are family-friendly, and many allow you to ride together with your child, which is a big plus! 👨‍👩‍👧💦 Definitely recommend for a summer day in Chelan! 🌞🎉

Clean, fun water slides, sandy volleyball court, and cool wave pool. All different cultures and ages can come to learn to surf or enjoy watching others surf while drinking a cold delightful beverage. Lots of places to lay out your towel for sunbathing and enjoyment. The only thing that bothered me is the price of food. Still worth going to relax and have fun 😊

Is a great place to take the kids. If you are new to the park, is good to know a few things: bring beach towels, is up to you but you can bring little tents since is very common to see family's bringing them and setting it down on the grass. You can rent a cabana but only if you want a private space and don't want to pack anything to sit. Also upstairs there are chairs and lounge chairs with umbrellas that you can sit and relax. Since I went on a not so sunny day it was ok but looks like it could be very sunny upstairs not a problem if you like the sun. The slides are fun, just prepare to walk up the hills, it is for all ages literally, I will come back. Ohhh bring food if you don't want to eat fast food other than that they sell the regular things you can find in places like this, burgers, fries, etc.

We had such an amazing time at Slidewaters in Chelan! I went with friends and it was the perfect spot for a fun, memorable day. The slides were a blast, the water was refreshing, and the whole place had such a positive, summer vibe. Everything was clean, well-kept, and the staff made sure things ran smoothly. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Chelan and want to have a good time with friends or family.

Awesome place! Small area for square footage, but packed tight with tons of slides. All of them are fun in their own way, and range in intensity for all ages. Only warning from my experience is that the intermediate slide #3 almost yeet-ed me off the slide.... left side of my body was out of the tube, but I survived. I didn't actually do that slide again. No running start on it either... but I'm a big guy, so maybe it was an issue of mass x velocity.... but my two kids played hard all day, and refused to leave... but we're passed out once seated in the car. Only picture i got was of the hang out pool that we sat beside.

Great for all ages . Granddaughter was 3 and she could touch the bottom of the lazy river. perfect for little kids and she went down 4 of the small waterslides while I waited at the bottom for her . We had older kids with us too perfect for a family. Bring a soft cooler, hard coolers not allowed . Bring sand toys too there is sand area above to play in for kids or a volleyball. You can bring small tents for shade or to rest in on grass !!! Bought my ticket online got there at 830 to line up before opening no wait YAY!!!

My kids always have a blast. Btw Payton is awesome we had a minor hiccup but she resolved it immediately. The food is AMAZING!

Had a great time going to Stehekin. Went to the bakery and Rainbow Falls. Took the fast Lady Liberty up and the Lady Express back. Rented electric bikes and toured around. Fun.

One of the great experiences on The Cascade Loop with a ferry ride on Lake Chelan to the remote town of Stehekin. I boarded The Lady Express in Chelan for a two and half hour ride to Stehekin with several stops along the way. It was nice to learn about the points of interest along the lake including the narrowest part of the lake. It was amazing to be on the lake with great views of peaks and Mountains along the lake. The ferry has a restroom and and a snack shop on board. I booked the Rainbow Falls tour with a stop at the bakery and a great experience in Stehekin. Stehekin has one restaurant and limited lodging options, but there are a number of tours of the lower valley that will not take all day. Located at the Lake Chelan Boat Company on W Woodin, which is US-97 Alt in Chelan. A great place to take a ferry on Lake Chelan to a remote town with a number of tour options and amazing views of the deepest Gorge in North America.

From Chelan, we rode the Liberty to Stehekin. Spent our day checking it out, but the ride home on the Express was a blast. What a hot rod. Lake was smooth enough it was a hour and half ride. We will go again. I didn't get a photo of the express, just the video of the ride.

Nice ferry ride out to and back from Stehekin. You can park at Chelan or Fields Landing to start this adventure. Keep a close eye on the departure times and plan accordingly.

This boat ride was worth every penny and contributed to a great vacation in the Cascades. The dock is easy to find and as soon as you arrive, everything is easy from parking to boarding. Ride itself was smooth and on a clean boat. The folding chairs aren't the most comfortable but this is not a luxury cruise. The pilot was great and his narratives were very educational. We rode to Stehekin and took the Rainbow falls tour which I'd highly recommend. The snack bar on the boat is very small so I'd recommend bringing your own food and drinks. I'd take this tour again if I come back to the area.

It was a great ride to Stehekin, we did the 1.5 hour layover but when we do it again I will do the 3 hour, we could have spent more time.

I did the day trip up to Stehekien, 3.5 hours each way for 1.5 hours up in Steheiken... crew was great, I struggled to hear the narration on the Upper deck, perhaps because there was a school group up there too, so moved downstairs to the soft seats. One of the bathrooms was out of order, so a line formed for the other. We had calm water, and was a smooth ride. Lots of shade, beautiful views the entire time.

Immaculately clean bathrooms!! Beautiful covered picnic area! Picnic tables near water with lots of trees for shade in the summer. I am sure this place is packed in the summer!! There are 2 pickleball courts and a tennis ball court. 2 Basketball nets… All very nicely maintained!! Nice little buoyed beach. There are geese which is the only problem I see- (Maybe they go elsewhere during the summer)???

TOP NOTCH! Beautiful campground on shore of Columbia River. Long paved parking pads and exposed aggregate picnic pads. Quality metal picnic tables. Huge wide open grassy space between sites. Sites are level. Price of $35 is s bargain compared to other options.

Clean, friendly, quiet hours were usually followed (one night a party went well after midnight across from our site). Beautiful grounds, well kept and bathrooms/showers were clean. Dock around swimming area would be nice but overall loved it!

What a tranquil location. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. There are lots of things for the kids and close to Chelan. The grass is so GREEN! Watch out for the "goat heads" My wife enjoyed our stay!!

Beautiful campground right on the Columbia River near Chelan. Large sites.Right beside park, very walkable.

This is a gorgeous spot! It's quiet and has lots of different things to look at that will make you lose track of time. There's the bridge, the Columbia River, squirrels, geese, great blue heron, along with lots of other birds; And not to mention the backdrop of scenery in every direction is stunning.

This is one of my favorite parks for camping. You need to make reservations. The grounds are well maintained. Dog friendly. Restrooms are very clean

First time visiting Stormy Mountain Brewing. We were a group of four adults and two kids. Showed up for lunch at 1:30 on a Saturday. They had a table, but were very busy. We were fine with that. We ordered our drinks and they were brought fairly quickly. However, they did run out of one of their featured ciders just before we tried to order. We did wait a bit to order our food. And then again to get our food. They did warn us they were behind. We never got a refill on our waters, nor another ask for further drinks. The interactions with employees were good and they were polite, they just seemed a bit overwhelmed. Once our order arrived, the food was plated well and was of good portion size. Our group ordered a brisket nachos, a chili and cornbread, the "famous" fish tacos, a Mac & cheese without toppings and a kid's mini corn dogs and fries. The food all tasted good. The chili was served a bit cool, but the flavor was excellent, as was the cornbread that was served with honey butter. The atmosphere for the restaurant was nice and inviting. Overall, they earned four stars.

I am a wing girlie. Specifically the saucier the better. When I learned Stormy doesn’t toss their wings but brings them on the side I was nervous. I ended up not using any sauce. These wings were cooked to perfection! Crispy skin on the outside and deliciously perfect on the inside! I also had the southwest salad and their house bbq ranch was so damn good I liked my bowl clean! Final yum came from the potstickers 💕✨ I will be back! Oh and GREAT sports bar for cheering on the Ms 💙💚

Great little tap room/ Pub. We had the brisket Tacos and they were very considerate with our gluten Free requirements. Sat at the bar and watched the M’s and enjoyed the conversation with Taylor. I had the Red Cider that was great and my bride had the Summer ale.

It was baseball night and the atmosphere was fun and exciting. The servers were friendly and efficient and the food was fine.

We reached out to Stormy Mountain Brewing for some fairly last-minute catering for our wedding. We got a super quick reply letting us know there had been a cancelation for the day of our wedding, and these folks did not disappoint! The communication from the catering coordinator was fantastic, the food was excellent and super fairly priced, but what really topped off our experience was the service we received. My husband went with one of our friends to pick the food up, the staff was so, so courteous. They explained that they'd gotten new catering containers and were concerned about stability. These fantastic folks, instead of just sending us on our way with a heads up, decided to just go ahead and walk our order over to us (wedding was just around the corner at Riverwalk Park) to make sure everything was good to go. Husband also spoke highly of the vibe in the restaurant. Stormy Mountain Brewing team, thank you SO SO MUCH for your contribution to our absolutely perfect wedding day! I highly recommend these guys for anyone in need of catering, and we'll definitely be making a point to dine in next time we're in Chelan!

The pot stickers are amazing! Perfectly cooked and brought to our table quickly. 10/10!!!

The place to be for good food, good vibes, and great people! I throughly enjoyed the pickle spears and fries!

Beautiful setting, no issue with mosquitos (don't know if that was because it's late in the season or typical). Exceptionally well maintained campsites, although they are very close together. Also not a lot of shade, so recommend bringing something with you. Ample restroom facilities.

Great amenities and well kept work green grass at the lake. It's nice to have access to showers that come along with the cost of a nightly stay. They clean and rake each plot. It's mainly rocks. Expect to walk up and down hills. The spots are extremely close together with not much shade and you can hear and see neighbors. There's clean water and trash cans easily accessible. The lake is the draw of camping here if you're not just looking for a place to stay between destinations on a hot day. Make sure you have a discovery pass if visiting for the day at the lake. The small store next to the lake has bread, hamburger buns, peanut butter, jelly, hot sauces, loads of ice cream hot food like Red Baron pizzas, caffeine drinks, minor fishing supplies, kayak rentals, toilet paper, tampons, nearly any basic product you'd need in case you'd forgotten something. They have thoughtful, great toys for kids. Expect prices to be a bit higher. There's a playground next to the lake that isn't exciting, but has a slide and two rocks kids can climb up. You could camp here without needing to bring anything but a tent

This is one of my favorite state parks! Such a beautiful area & so well maintained! I was lucky enough to be there early in the season with some really nice weather. Almost had the park to myself! I got in some great paddle boarding on the lake as well as a hike up the mountain behind the park!

Great little camp ground,has a great hike nearby not recommended for young kids. The beach area was nice to swim at and there is concession stand that sell snacks.

Beautuful Quiet setting to enjoy with your family. Dry camping sites all along the lake sectioned out with large boulders. Cement Sites with electricity and water. All have great views! Restrooms with showers are kept very clean.

I wish there were half stars as I would give 3.5 stars. Here is the the good ... Clean campground with clean sites & bathrooms. Some sites w/o hook-ups would work well for smaller RVs. Nice lake access with big beach and water is clean. The not as goods... If you are in an RV and want hook-ups your site options are limited. The sites are too close to each other & one section for RVs is literally a paved area like a parking lot. There are limited trails so the lake better be your choice for the day/stay

Beautiful place to spend the weekend camping , fishing or playing golf. The campground is clean well kept. Would definitely go back again. We did some trout fishing of the dock, it could be repaired or in better condition. The dock is broken not maintained but still works. We caught our limit. The view is impressive specially right before sunrise 🌅😀The lake is nice to swim in it even not during peak summer. Also has shallow areas for families with kids much calmer than lake chelan. Also not as crowded.

Great place to unplug. Lots of places to explore by car, but have a high undercarriage. There are ruts and boulders in spots. Winthrop Ace is the place to find out about all you outdoor needs. Rivers Edge Resort is wonderful and located right in town. Go drive many of the different NF roads. Some are well maintained and others not. We are here in May and hwy 20 is opening today so we have had this quaint little place to ourselves. Don’t forget the Mazama store for delicious baked goods. Hikes are abundant so know where you want to go or you will be overwhelmed with what to do.

The river is very shallow, but so nice and peaceful. It's shady on each side and is nice and cool for dipping feet into.

Just look

Gorgeous.

Picturesque

(Translated by Google) Yes awesome place!!! (Original) Si awesome place!!!

Awesome customer service in all property locations. I could tell you are a bit understaffed in food and drink service at Danny's Bar & Grill as it took more time then it should to get waited on. Your new Barn area was done well. I liked your design and setup. The restrooms at that location were not serviced enough however. They were a mess at 9am in the morning and in the same condition later in afternoon. The buffet got a 7 out of 10 the night we had the prime rib...that was not good, full of fat, more fat then eatable meat. The room was spectacular. Please put an end table between the chairs on deck to set a glass on, there was no table out there. Front desk staff is always great along with shuttle cart drivers. Wasn't real impressed with your new course, however hoping you have things figured out before booking our next annual trip. Thank you for a great weekend!

We stayed at the Inn for a night and played 18 holes at Gamble and 14 holes at Quicksands. We cannot say enough positive things about our experiences. I thought the customer service was excellent. It seemed as though the people really took pride in their job and they made it very special for us. The Inn was world class accommodation. The view from the room is stunning and we spent 3 hours on the patio relaxing and soaking in the atmosphere. The course was incredible. Such generous fairways and the maintenance was top notch. I have played at some nice courses but the overall experience at Gamble sands was the best I’ve ever had on a Golf Course. I cant wait for Scarecrow to open and we plan on making this an annual trip. I’m looking forward to seeing where this development will go.

The courses are world class. Rooms were immaculate and the staff was fantastic. The only feedback I’d offer would be: - there are many blind shots. Seems a good enhancement would GPS trackers on carts so you can see where the group in front of you is to avoid hitting into them. - Danny Boy restaurant menu and food quality were just OK. Not bad, but didn’t blow our minds. - please build a 3rd 18 hole course!!

From the moment we arrived, the customer service was top-notch—friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, whether it was handling special requests or offering local tips. The real highlight, though, was the golf course. Absolutely stunning. Every hole had incredible views—rolling fairways framed by mountains, water features, and wide-open skies. Even if you’re not a golfer, the scenery alone makes this place worth it. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and had great views of the course. After a round of golf, we relaxed with drinks on the patio and watched the sunset over the 18th green—unreal. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with world-class golf and even better service, this is it.

We had a small hiccup with our reservation at Gamble Sands, but the staff went above and beyond to make it right. They handled everything with professionalism and made sure our group was taken care of. On top of that, the course itself is absolutely stunning—immaculate conditions, breathtaking views, and a layout that’s both fun and challenging. What could’ve been a frustrating situation turned into a reminder of how great their customer service really is. Can’t wait to come back and play again

The original Gamble Sands course is a master class in fun golf course design. Varied holes, creative reveals and incredible views. The staff is all incredibly helpful and friendly. You really feel like you've gone somewhere special. We also got a sneak peak at Scarecrow and that is going to blow peoples socks off. There is a pretty good stretch of holes that's maybe as fun as I've ever seen. The new rooms are also great.

2 outstanding courses plus the Quicksands short course (didn't play it due to one of our group getting a golf injury). Serious maintenance team/program trying to make every golfer experience perfect conditions. Pricey, but when all is said and done, well worth it and we look forward to future visits. For me, best golf experience I've had in years.

Tour given by Garrett was very informative. He answered all our questions and was a wealth of information. Very impressive. Tour is well worth it!

Visiting the smokejumper base was one of the highlights of my visit to Winthrop and WA. One of the firefighters gave a great tour of the base and provided a very detailed overview of the profession. These guys are heros who do unbelievable work stopping fires before they spread. I highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

Awesome place for training and housing Smokejumpers, parachuting firefighters! Smokejumping started here in 1939, when US Forest Service worker, Francis Lufkin, started this mode of forest/wildfire fighting. Small airport is base for North Cascades in Washington. Interesting tour of base is great.

The North Cascade Smokejumper Base, officially established in 1945, has a rich history and a significant role in combating forest fires in the United States. Its location outside Winthrop in Okanogan County's Methow Valley was initially chosen due to the valley's susceptibility to wildfires, making it an ideal site for developing and training an airborne firefighting force. The concept of using aircraft to combat forest fires dates back to 1919, with civilian pilots conducting air patrols over California, Oregon, and the Northern Rocky Mountains for fire detection and observation. The U.S. Forest Service, responsible for wildfire crisis response and resource management, began experimenting with aerial fire control in 1935. This led to the development of the smokejumping program in 1936, where supplies and eventually firefighters were air-dropped into remote fire locations, significantly reducing response times and resource expenditure​​. In recent activities, the North Cascades Smokejumpers have continued to play a crucial role in firefighting efforts. For instance, they were instrumental in containing the Pyramid Area Fires, utilizing strong initial attacks and ongoing efforts with water support from helicopters. Additionally, they were actively involved in addressing the Sourdough Fire in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to managing and containing wildfires in challenging terrains and conditions​​​​​​. This dedication and effectiveness highlight the North Cascade Smokejumper Base as not only a historical site but also a crucial and active participant in modern firefighting and forest management.

What a Hoot! We arrived at the base and was greeted by Ivan, who is an actual smoke jumper. He gave us a thorough tour of the base explaining everything from packing their backpacks to jumping out of plane and the dynamics of firefighting. We got to walk through a working plane. We had lots of questions and he answered them all. There was no charge for the tour; we were just asked to buy a T-shirt or two ($20 ea) The T-shirts are really cool & made great gifts for the folks back home. In addition the total cost of the T-shirts goes toward helping fellow smoke jumpers & their families that are in need. If you have some extra time in Winthrop check the Smokejumpers Base out!!

The tour of North Cascades Smokejumpers facility was so cool! Eric from North Cascades and John from the Missoula Smokejumpers gave us a great tour, were a wealth of information and a lot of fun. These guys are incredible heroes and so appreciated! Thanks for a great visit!

Patrick V gave us a great personal tour and showed us everything. Super guy and one of the best behind the scenes tours I’ve been on.

Rating is specific for bathrooms: rodent crap everywhere! You will track this into your car if you use their bathrooms. Not exaggerating, see photos.

Volunteers show you all thru hatchery. You get your feèd fish. And there is a large aquarium with salmon

Great place to go mountain biking. They have a designated trail that starts here, about 12 mile loop, small gentle hills, great for a beginner.

Wow! Fishery and amazing hike!

It was a very informative tour.

Family friendly and super fun experience

We enjoyed stopping by the tasting room. It was quiet when we were there on a Tuesday afternoon. The folks helping us were very friendly and took time to explain the different wines and also have us taste different wines that matched our palettes.

This place is so cute! Friendly staff, and I actually enjoyed the wines. There is indoor and outdoor seating. If you buy a glass or wine or a bottle, your tasting fee is covered!

Quaint, high quality place with excellent wines made from Columbia valley grapes. Meat and cheese plates with panini sandwiches coming soon. Very friendly staff and very knowledgeable

Nice visit and tasting. Great stop on way to North Cascades. Enjoyed the wines

Great little location, we had a great place to relax and enjoy the area. They had pre fixed 5 wines for $10 tasting. I would recommend this place for a stop in this area!!!

Laid back tasting room. Pleasant, friendly and helpful staff. Plus… good wine. Nice outdoor space.

Amazing customer service. Lovely ambiance. Delicious wines. My 2 favorites were the Pino Gris and Cedarosa

This was an amazing museum with a very unique and knowledgeable curator! It's a step back in time and a great experience! Loved all the attention to detail everywhere you looked! The buildings and items really told a story! I enjoyed my time at the "castle" and can't wait to come back again!

What an amazing (mostly outdoor) museum. All sorts of old machinery, vehicles, and entire rooms and buildings set up as period pieces. They have a great antique firearm collection on display and the old wagons were so cool to see in real life. This is a donation-only museum, so you can just walk in!

Such a cool outdoor museum! I loved walking around and reading about the town and the surrounding mines. It had great views of the surrounding hill sides, too.

We weren't sure if we should stop because the buildings weren't open but just walking through the grounds was well worth the time! It's an impressive collection with great signage. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you are visiting town and looking to learn more about the pre-touristy history.

One of the most detailed museums I’ve been to, they have a great collection of stuff and take a lot of pride in their town and its history of the surrounding area. Their knowledge and passion for it shines through immensely. It was a great place to spend the afternoon, walking around and visiting. Highly recommend a stop there while you are in town.

Big area and lots of old time equipment and antique charm. There is much to see and you can tell they take good care of the museum.

We stumbled across this museum after reading a sign at the town hall talking about out going up the hill and turn right to see an old house. What a find, the collection of all mining, farm and transport equipment is extensive and extremely well documented. We thoroughly recommend a visit.

Walked out well ahead on the day. So did both property I was with. It was an epic success.

I drove 5 hours for this F-----G casino to be closed!

Went there to enjoy live music. The food was good and they had a full bar. They were a little short staffed but the people who were working were running their butts off making it work.

Wouldn’t recommend to anybody of color due to the crappy atmosphere from both customers and staff. Service was odd and strangely unprofessional, our waitress kept eyeing my boyfriend and making him uncomfortable. Food is a bit overpriced according to their food quality and waited over an hour for our food while seated with a group of strangers despite open seats everywhere. Noticed their non-alcoholic beverages are very watered down and the soda tasted off. Wouldn’t recommend anything special on their menu as it all vaguely tastes the same. Their TVs were also very glitchy and hard to watch. I’ve received better service in sundown towns. Overall poor experience.

First, my order was messed up. When I brought it back, the waiter who messed up would not talk to me. The waiter was asked 3 times to bring me a ranch, and he refused. The other waitress put my order in right, and then the cook was mad and yelled at me that maybe I should order what on the menu, there is no gluten-free options. Honestly, how hard is it to make grilled chicken with grilled mushrooms and pepper jack cheese? Once I got my food, the chicken was given to me raw. Literally gelly pink raw. I will never eat there ever again. Only one waitress was nice, apologetic, and seemed to really care. Overall, we were treated like a burden for going in to support the establishment. The waiter was given a 50% tip. Really, we should have waited until after we got our food and seen what kind of service we would get before tipping because I would have only tipped the waitress.

Burger was really good and delicious woofed it down in seconds only problem was the waitress was by her self with a semi packed house

Been here several times over the years, just seems to be getting better and better. Perfect spot for a cold beer and lunch!

Don't miss this one on Pine Street. Well worth it if you're looking for a rest stop or some really good food. Found good and friendly service. Very clean place.

Voila! My wife is French and a very good cook. We stopped in Tuesday night on our way passing through the Okanogan valley. The ambiance was nice so we ordered dinner. The waitress was perfect, very attentive as they were busy. We ordered the 8 oz. steak and the TKO. It arrived quickly and cooked to perfection! My wife has been in the states for two years and said it was the second best steak that we've had. Tender and cooked exactly how we asked. We will be back! Nous reviendrons suremment!👍

Everytime I go there, it's very pretty. Omak city employees work very hard to keep it clean and beautiful ❤️ We didn't have a fall so leaves are just now falling off the tree, Omak city is blessed to have all of them. So thank you for keeping it real ☺️

You only find out that the bathrooms and hot showers are closed between October and April after you pay for a reservation. Says nothing about them being closed on the reservation page. Not a fun surprise after driving all day.... I own a regular truck and could have parked anywhere for free. I paid for a reservation specifically to use the bathroom and shower.

Nice and shady campground but sites are a little close so there is little privacy. Showers definitely need some work, it was very dark and dingy in there. It also seems like the agricultural workers take over the mens bathroom in the evening. Clothes and towels strewn all about the place. There was even a violent verbal altercation between an Ag worker and a camper while I was in the shower. Lots of yelling and cursing and one even threw a trash can at the other. It was a little frightening but thankfully it was over and they had dispersed by the time I was done. Ag workers also washing off in the spigots at empty campsites. It would rly be a great spot if it weren’t for the free loaders.

Decent little park. Access directions on their website are helpful. Convenient location, easy to maneuver in the park. Quirky sewer hookups. Every other space for the most part. Intended use for buddy sites? Could be awkward traveling alone. Even the back ins are set up that way. Good power. We had good cell signals on both Verizon and T-Mobile. Picked up TV networks on antenna. Clean restrooms.

Nice trees for shade during this heat wave. Power and water are excellent sites are long but very narrow so hope for good neighbors. Sewer line was broken so no sewers, dump station or toilets. City hall staff are excellent!

Rachel works very hard to keep this campground nice. She is very responsive and willing to help. I highly recommend this stop. Thank you to the City of Omak for having this campground.

A nice campground an hour south of the Canadian border. Good wifi clean showers but like most rv spots you can reach out and touch someone. An overnight spot not for long stays.

Hadn't visited in about 9 years. Beautiful area and brought back good memories. Stopped at the 'Sit and Bull' for an order of fries and mug of beer. Hope to camp at this state park in the future. Looks to be well taken care of. Photo is of upper reservoir.

Nice park with plenty of room be between campsites. Clean shower facility. The only real downside here is no Wi-Fi and no sewer hookup for RVs ut there is an on site RV dump. The Wi-Fi wasn't a bad thing for me, I actually kinda enjoyed it...just letting YOU know that it isn't there.

My family has been spending time in this little town nestled in the eastern slope foothills of the Cascades for 50+years, so I'm kinda partial! Conconully State Park has changed a little over the years and just keeps getting better and better! With the addition of rentable cabins with electricity and a wonderful play area for children (and parents 🤣) and an updated bathroom with multiple stalls and showers that are phenomenal (no charge) there are plenty of fish in the lake adjacent to the park and another lake less than 1/2 a mile at the other end of town. And many, many of miles of good condition road's to explore further into the Cascades on side-by-side, ATVs, 4x4s and pretty much anything people get a wild hair to drive into the woods. I've personally seen a really nice Camaro up above Salmon Meadows out towards Tiffany mountain, which is definitely not a trail you expect to see a nice Camaro. You can also drive from Conconully in any car a route through the woods all the way over to the Methow valley to Winthrop WA and go over baldy mountain pass which is a beautiful 40ish mile drive through the woods. Any which way you choose to take advantage of the many recreational activities in the area, Conconully State Park is a beautiful maintained space to have as home base for all your adventures!

This park was nice, but not worth the drive. The main attraction was the water, but the park is mostly situated on the swampy end of the lake, which was so murky with goose feces I would never swim in it.

This park was partially flooded when we arrived in late June. Park staff switched our reservation to a nice dry spot when we checked in. It was easy to find right in town on Conconully Reservoir. There are three campgrounds – main, south camp and west camp. In the main campground wites have straight level gravel pads with picnic tables and firepit in grass beside pads. Easy to park and hookup. Grass was mown, and the park was well cared for. Lots of geese, large picnic area with playground and old trees for shade. Small boat launch at west camping area which was tightly packed with small spaces. The west campground was very rustic with rustic boat launch and large parking area. Lots of people riding ATV’s on park roads and public roads nearby. No signs in park about ATV trails but there must be trails nearby. Water and electric sites were just as nice as tent sites with lots of room but not much privacy. No real beach area.

We stayed in one of the cabins. It had a queen sized bed, and a full sized bunk bed. There was power, an AC unit, a fan, running water nearby, and clean bathrooms a short walk away. It was hardly camping, but it was peaceful and quiet. Deer wandered through the site, the lake was serene, and each night the stars were incredible.

Well maintained, affordable state park on the lower lake. Clean restrooms, functioning playground, on-leash dogs allowed. Easy lake access, walking distance to gas station and restaurants.

Nice memorial. I especially loved the flag made from rocks and the murals from the wars.

A sweet little park to honor our vets.

Clean, nice, special. The respectable air of gratitude is undeniable. Glad I went, glad to see, cant wait to see the gardens in bloom in the spring.

I love what they're doing for veterans! Could have been a bit more receptive to the public who are interested but not veterans. We were basically told there was nothing there for us.

Convenient for my friends step dad to take his VA paper work.

Tom is very knowledgeable and helps in anyway he can

A 5 minute photo op. Respect for veterans but other than that, nothing special.

WILL RETURN Enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Admission fee less than 10 bucks. Well worth the price. Amazing detailed work. Can easily spend 2 hours there. Another good family activity to enjoy other than exploring wineries and wine tasting.

If you are in the least bit into model trains, you will love this place!! Even my wife who doesn't give a damn about trains, model trains or dioramas was thoroughly impressed and spent an hour looking at and video recording this incredible exhibit that is a lifelong pain of one family! Check it out!!

Such great work and you can tell it's very well loved and taken care of! We spent a good amount of time looking through all the individual vignettes. Kids will enjoy the little buttons that they can use to animate certain scenes.

Not very big for the price. Just one large room. It was interesting to see but not worth almost $20 for two people. $5 is more realistic for what you get. Nice people. Very clean. Gift shop downstairs was very expensive. Would be nice if it had Air conditioning. We went here to escape the 40 degree heat wave in Osoyoos. It was very hot inside which was uncomfortable.

Great stop we've been to a couple of times. So many details to spot throughout the display and costs 6 of us less than $50 to get in. You can spend as much or as little time in the display as you would like!

Great place to take little kids, however it's a horrifying place to take a train fan, especially if they like or have a model railroad. European trains and structures mixed with every toy that was approximately the right size. Most scenes looked like a toy store exploded. The track work is tight radiuses, flex track, and ugly turnouts.

This place is amazing for young and old! We are so sad that it will be closed as of September 7, 2021. If you get a chance to go then definately do it! So worth the visit! We had toddlers and seniors with us and tennagers and everyone loved it. Such a lot of work and detail. Love it!

We went to the beach in the city center, down by Boston pizza. The beach is clean sand is clean shore is clean water was refreshing. Not to busy . The shore line here is more sandy than other places. Come check it out ! Public washrooms. There nice . Place to by food. Grass area. Shade area.

Warm water to swim in, a very beautiful view of the mountains, on the other side of the lake is another country. There are great places nearby for camping. I would like to return to this place.

The lake is SO WARM! We went on the Canada Day long weekend and it was stellar. I recommend going on a less windy day so getting out of the water/being on the water isn’t as cold

Lake Osoyoos spans more than 5,700 acres and straddles the border of British Columbia, Canada and Washington state in the United States. The Okanagan River flows into Lake Osoyoos in a semi-arid region of British Columbia known as Desert Wine Country. This region has very low annual rainfall and some of the highest average temperatures in Canada. In fact, the lake is the warmest in Canada and is located in Canada’s only desert.

Beautiful town and lake. A tourist destination with water sports including a witbit. Pub, restaurants, cafes, fast food. And you are in fruit and wine country in Canada's desert. Many fruit stands and wineries in the area.

Nice place to kayak is the north end of this lake, at the Okanagan River entry. Larger grasslands in this area make for interesting kayaking.

We were driving passing by the lake, but attracted by its beauty. So we stopped and took some pictures.

The boardwalk through the desert ecosystem is really well made and allows you to see great views of the area and the local native plants. If you're lucky, you'll catch a view of one of the local denizens but since they're primarily nocturnal and the centre is open from 9 to 4 it's not that likely. But lots of birds and insects to keep an eye open for. Nice little interpretive centre and gift shop with small selection. Great visit. Really enjoyed it!

All around very interesting for someone who likes deserts. Although technically the Osoyoos desert isn’t a desert, it is close enough to the official rating to make it valuable. The whole walk is about 1km, all on new boardwalk so it is easy. There are several stops along the way with info panels and shade, and as it was 36C when we did the guided tour, the shade was critical. Definitely do the guided tour. It is only $12 which is worth it as it goes back into supporting the centre. There are a few options for times of tours during the day so you don’t have to do one during the hottest part of the day. Our guide was very cute, clever and funny and obviously knew about deserts and the locale. She had been working there for three years so it’s nice to see continuity of employees. Bathrooms were clean, the Centre itself was small but tidy and geared for families as it had interactive displays for kids. Well worth it!

Beautiful desert scenery! A self-guided tour with accompanying pamphlet, with easy to follow markers & info kiosks along the path. On a hot day make sure to bring water & wear sunscreen as you're mostly out in the open. Very well done & well worth the fee, hope to come here again!

A great way to learn about local native plant and animal varieties! Such a unique landscape, and we had a lovely chat with a student employee who gave us some extra interesting info!

A information centre about the only desert in the whole of Canada! If you have time, this is a must-visit! We came from Kelowna and spent between 1-2 hours here. The centre has guided and self-guided tours along the 1.5 km walk through the desert. The self-guided tours were fun! Information spread out in 12 steps throughout the boardwalk. We determinated wildlife poop and flowers and learned a lot about the environment. Bring sunscreen, water and maybe a hat!

Good place to get the idea about Osoyoos desert concept. I appreciate the contribution by the paid workers and the volunteers' dedication as well. I felt this the place you can really see the real cross section of Osoyoos geography. The fee of 12 CAD should be considered as the our contribution to the effort made by them to educate the remarkable piece of land located in beautiful British Columbia.

We took the wrong turn to find this destination, incredible views, amazing wine lists, so glad we found this gem. Would definitely come back for R&R and a good lengthy hike to take in the scenery. Best to leave your electronics at home to truly get a sense of why you want to go there and stay at one of the local resorts. Best holiday ever to get back to basics!

This is a great first stop if you're new to Osoyoos and get all the info and guides you need. They have a nice selection of merch too. Check out the metal sculpture at the backside of the building.

Definitely worth the stop. I can't remember the womans name, I think she said she was originally from Edmonton. In any case she had recommended a number of places including the embalming fluid bottles house in Boswell BC. And a number of locations around Osoyoos that we had really enjoyed. Thank you so much for the great information. We may see you next summer since we enjoyed the area so much! Come back from that area again this year, just love it .

I actually pulled over to figure out where I was in Osoyoos and I happened to be right where the Information Center was lol.. my friend and I were so impressed, the ladies that work there are exceptional, so helpful and friendly! They made me feel more assured that I’d find the hotel I was looking for, and recommended anything else we were interested in. Love the unique items you sell there too, glad I got those cute coasters. Thanks again ladies, Sheila & Susana😊

A nice stop to stretch out and getting more info about the town.

The Osooyos Visitors center is conveniently located and easy to find. The building is modern and well maintained. The gift shop has quality items for sale. What impressed me the most was when Leslie greeted me warmly, was patient with my questions and gave me excellent tips on what to see and experience in the area. I have been to other visitor centers whose staff left me feeling like l imposed on them. I left the Osooyos Visitor Center with the feeling that l made new friends who were genuinely enthusiastic about their area.

WOW. What a wonderful, helpful place. Grace answered all our questions and offered all the maps we might need. She is a gem. Thank you so much. Brian and Nancy

Love stopping in here! Always such nice staff and a great assortment of things to shop for :)

Spied the mini-golf and couldn’t say no. Was pleasantly surprised to find they are dog friendly! Really pretty course, nicely maintained, super cute mural and structures. Has short putts but still challenging and very fun. Loved the addition of the spin challenges! This was so much better than I expected! Come check it out!! Worth a stop!!

We played an evening of mini golf here. Parking is behind or along the street. There's 18 holes, and each one was quite unique. Compared to our usual annual mini golf in Parksville, this place is better! Some of the difficulties make the experience fun and challenging. The pacing was also good. The way they designed the holes allowed them to compact things but not give you the experience of being crowded. This is an excellent mini golf park. We definitely recommend Rattlesnake Canyon!

The atmosphere at Rattlesnake Canyon was enjoyable, with a lively crowd and a decent range of attractions. While it was busy, the wait times for rides were surprisingly reasonable. However, the experience was dampened by a few issues. The day pass felt overpriced considering the limited number of available activities, and the parking situation was quite tight. Most disappointing was the encounter with a rude agent at the ticket counter, which got the day off to a less-than-ideal start. With some improvements in service and value, the park could offer a much better experience. In the end, my son loved the various rides and activities. Ride attendants including of Trampoline were great.

Such fun for the whole family. The staff are friendly and want to make sure everyone has a good time. They checked in with my 4 year old on the Bungee Tree to see if she wanted to go up high or not and respected her wishes to just jump on the trampoline. When I went on the swings I was told if I started to feel sick or scared to just give the guy a thumbs down and he'd stop the ride. Overall, pretty affordable too, all things considered. There is no entrance fee so it just depends on how much you want to do.

We went after sunset and got the day pass tickets for 2 adults. However we quickly realized the rides in the package aren't too thrilling for adults, so I would recommend just buying the go kart and mini golf experience individually instead. Lucky for us the staff was able to get us the mini golf in exchange for rest of our tickets for the other rides. The best part was we were allowed to finish the mini golf course past the closing time. There was another group couple holes behind us as well, which was really appreciated.

Worth visiting with kids make sure to check age restrictions and height restrictions. Not suitable for small kids but my daughter is 9 she can get in to most of the rides without trouble.

I drove up from Abbotsford for a random round of mini golf with my wife and kids! To my lack of planning we were rained out within 5 min of getting there (4hr drive lol) and the front desk gave us a rain check! We had a week camping trip planned in Gallagher mid August and planned on using the rain check but I forgot it at the campsite and Paul the owner had no issue trusting me! He accidentally gave us all day passes not mini golf passes and after golf told the staff to which they were very impressed we didn’t use the all day rides pass! We came back again for rides and paid for them gladly due to how we were treated! Yes there is limited rides as ppl say but for the space they have they use it well! The manager treated my sons above and beyond and helped my daughter for a ride and had a great talk with him! As I was enjoying icecream ( I think it was me that dripped it :( sorry Paul!) the owner walked by and noticed a drip of icecream on the walk way ahead and instantly got someone to wipe it up……. He’s always walking around ensuring park is clean and running well! If you’re visiting the area I highly recommend you check this place out as it’s a annual tradition for us and as long as Paul and the manager are there we will keep coming back!

Twisted Hills Craft Cider offered incredibly delicious drinks and a lovely store with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made the experience even better. Highly recommend visiting this hidden gem!

So glad we stopped into Twisted Hills on our drive home from Oliver. We got to try a fantastic selection of ciders for $5 per person, one fee of which was waived after buying a bottle of their semi-dry cider (hard to pass up bringing a bottle home once you get a taste of their liquid gold!). Our host was very friendly and knowledgeable, plus they have a charming verdant front orchard to stretch your legs in- an absolute delight!

Ok so this was a newer experience the outside is beautiful you can see valleys and valleys of fruit trees. The building is absolutely beautiful and its not even that big, but when you walk in the ceilings are ridiculously high which makes it feel huge! There is an option to taste test for 5$ but if you purchase something that fee is waved. So many items to choose from and there staff spole about all the items with so much confidence you new they enjoyed being there! Also you get a fair amount of alcohol to taste in each cup 😆 which is obviously never disappointing! Ended up getting two bottles of they're cider (cherry and plum) they all also have apple in them so a wonderful flavour and aroma. Really enjoyed how awesome the atmosphere was and i will be returning again and again, and if you stop by you will too. Forgot to mention how beautiful the bottles are that they come in you pull of the lid and it comes with a resealably lid that keeps your drink fresh ( pretty sure im gonna keep the bottle just to use with water 😆) once again add this place on your stop! I guarantee you wont regret it!

Delicious ciders! We stopped in for a quick tasting ($5 each or goes towards your purchase). We tried 4 and bought 3 bottles. We would’ve stayed to enjoy a glass outdoors but it was smoky and we had to continue our drive.

The ciders here opened my eyes to a whole new dimension of what cider can be. Each one had a natural, fruit-forward taste that felt authentic and delicious. Elise was a knowledgeable and welcoming host, while being genuinely passionate about what she does.

Fun building, good location, friendly staff, great drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic

MUCH better than average ciders. They are refreshing without being overpowering, and served up in wire trap bottles so you don't have to drink it all at once. Super friendly people here, too. DEFINITELY worth the stop on your way thru!!

We came here for lunch. The schnitzel is a must! Food came in large portions and reasonably priced. Burger was also solid. NOTE:Brick oven pizzas are only available 4:30pm onwards so if you’re looking to try those, don’t come until dinner. Lunch didn’t seem to be busy on a long weekend so reservations likely aren’t needed. However they do have live music on Friday nights so reservations possibly are recommended. We didn’t go back for dinner as we weren’t in the area anymore.

Food is tasty. I give high marks to the schnitzel and my wife liked the Thai bowl. The rest of the party said their dishes were good. In the bakery make sure you don't touch the bread because it is for display and the baker will come out with your selection. A bit of a quirk but the signs are there.

The Missus and I visited the Crowsnest Vineyards Restaurant for lunch before our fruit run in Keremeos. We ate outside on the patio area on a nice autumn day. Service was excellent as the one server was the hostess, tended to other tables and also worked the bakery area. I had the Schnitzel which was very good as some that I have had in Germany and Austria. The accompanying hunter sauce was delicious. The Missus enjoyed a ginormous schnitzel sandwich which she was able to eat without deconstructing it. On the way out, we couldn’t resist the cinnamon buns, apple fritters and a couple loaves of freshly baked bread. We will certainly drop by again to try the wood fired pizzas.

Made a special trip with my family from Osoyoos (after buying some wonderful bread there) for a pizza and music night. Pizza was terrific, (however, had to ask for a menu and then had to ask for the price.. strange... and they really had no wine flights to choose from, sadly). Entertainment was a no show. Flies were overwhelming and service was..well..we ate.. perhaps hard to find staff in these areas. Too bad as we thought it would be a place to come back to ...

I always stop here on my way to Osoyoos and it never disappoints! This time I had the schnitzel and oh my goodness it was absolutely to die for! We will be back in September and you can bet I will be ordering it again. There is nothing better than sitting outside with a bottle of wine soaking in the gorgeous scenery.

I’ll start with the good: the food was great! However, there was an accidental food spillage all over me by one of the servers, whom decidedly never cleaned up the mess on the ground. These things happen, I get it, but after being told they would reimburse me for my stained shorts and never receiving more than a cricket for a few months I feel like the integrity of the management should be aired. Lastly, the benches around the area, offering a great vibe of the vineyard, cannot seat more than a 50lbs person as they are rotting and littered with bugs eating away at the rot. Maybe some TLC will do well for this place! Still hoping they stand true to their word and send the reimbursement!

Love the food! So yummy, and their rose' is my favorite! Small menu, but so yummy. The bruschetta is so good, home-made sourdough bread, fresh tomatoes, I definitely recommend this place.

My family and I had a great experience with wine tasting and of course delicious food. The employees there are absolutely the friendliest people I've met. The whole area designed in such a great shape that you don't want to leave. And not to mention the restaurant view, stunning!

I will start by saying that the food was excellent. However, everything else during our experience was not. We arrived for our 1pm reservation, we received water and our order was taken. After 30 minutes I had to go ask for more water and we did not receive our drinks - wine and beer - until 1:45. And only because I went to ask. We had placed our food order at the same time. We had to ask about our food at 2:15. When it finally came, the food was delicious. One item did not arrive. One bill was incorrect. The view was exceptional. After 2.5 hours with no manager, and no explanation, the experience only deserves a one star rating because the food was very good.

Food was good, had the mussels which were quite small, wondering if they were freshwater but still tasty, tried their bannock, very good. Their pitcher of sangria was lovely! Great outdoor patio and view, provided nice umbrellas when it got too hot to sit under the sun. Made reservations but likely don’t need to as we saw other tables free for lunch.

Had two exceptional meals here while staying at Spirit Ridge. Also had a pleasant wine tasting with Loyd, who knows what he’s talking about despite the missing “L”. For lunch, the turkey and brie sandwich was delicious. Others had the pizza cooked in the $30,000 oven. The dining companions were kind enough to share, and so I can report that the ‘za gets a mark of A+. They have topping combinations you are unlikely to see elsewhere. For the less adventurous, they will cobble together a plain cheese pizza. For dinner on another date, had the Indigenous Flavours meal. It was terrific. A particular shout out to the server Luke from New Zealand. A misunderstanding led to the belief on our part that pizza would be an option. Upon being seated, we were informed that the pizza option stopped 45 minutes prior. Our Kiwi server, true to his Jedi namesake, used some mind trick to convince the chef to make an exception. Thus we managed to avoid the ire of the youngest child; Pizza delivered. The portion sizes were fine, but some might find they were a tad small. The price was appropriate for the venue; pizzas are about $25. As for the atmosphere, I doubt you will find a better view anywhere on the planet.

The wines are wonderful, worth visiting for a tasting! We found the process a bit odd - arrived at 5:20pm and was unsure about weather a tasting could happen (they close st 6pm). We were able to do a tasting- Ron served us and was awesome, a great experience and lovely wines. They do not waive the tasting fees regardless of purchase (even if you purchase several cases). Overall, worth visting but book ahead.

Brought some guests on the weekend for a tasting experience at Nk'Mip Cellars. We were really taken care of, Faye the Wine educator was awesome. Super knowledgeable,super personable and outgoing. Just wanted to share the lovely experience that my guests expressed. Keep up the great work. Grazie mille 🙏

We went to the Nk'Mip Cellars after doing the culture center walk, we went to do the Wine Tasting and our wine expert Faye was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about all the wines we tried. We enjoyed the wine and took a bottle home as well, would highly recommend! Thanks again Faye for the great experience :)

Our visit to the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre was an absolute highlight of our trip. The admissions fee for our family of three was very reasonable, and the ticket agent was exceptionally kind, friendly, and helpful. Since it was a Sunday, she even gave us a 15% discount, which was a pleasant surprise. She took the time to explain the loop trail and informed us about the day’s events, which made our experience smooth and enjoyable. The museum itself offers rich and thoughtful displays about the history and culture of the Okanagan people—both engaging and educational. The 1.5 km loop trail was easy to walk and full of interesting sights, including opportunities to learn more about desert ecology. Along the way, we found plenty of great spots to take memorable photos. One of the highlights was the snake presentation in the theatre, led by a biology researcher. She was knowledgeable and engaging, offering fascinating insights into local wildlife. Parking was plentiful, the hiking experience was excellent, and the entire atmosphere of the centre was peaceful, informative, and family-friendly. We highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area—it’s well worth it.

An absolute gem and must visit! The girl at front desk was so welcoming and helpful. Their new interactive exhibit ‘Tricksters’ was great as well but my favorite was the outdoor trails among the sagebrush and the village. Oh and the architecture of the building is just as brilliant!

The Centre was really good! I recommend visiting in the early morning or afternoon for a better chance to see wildlife. We only spotted some birds, unfortunately. The customer service was amazing. We had our little dog with us, which is usually not allowed in the park. Since it was hot outside and we couldn’t leave her in the car, the reception kindly let us bring her in and prepared a room with AC where she could stay comfortably in her box. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend visiting—especially for those who want to escape the dry, hot weather! 😬

I loved my experience here. Since I showed up at the end of the day, I wasnt charged a fee as I wasnt able to get very far but its a very spiritual place. I loved the trails, I love the facility, I loved the power you can feel of the people whose land it is. Im Cree from northern Saskatchewan and the young lady at the gift shop was from North Battleford Saskatchewan, that was a nice little laugh for us. I enjoyed my time and bought a Kokum scarf and some earrings.

A Truly Special Place – Worth Visiting More Than Once! We loved our visit so much that we came back the very next day! The area is rich with natural beauty—plenty of wildlife to observe and listen to, peaceful pine trees to rest under, and well-maintained shared spaces that make it easy to relax and connect with nature. One of the highlights was exploring the village and learning about the history and culture of the Osoyoos Indian Band. It added so much depth and meaning to our experience. This place is a perfect blend of serenity, nature, and heritage. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and connect with something deeper.

Worth every penny going for a learning experience indoor and outdoor. It takes you on a desert hike with some interactive displays. Sent a leisurely good 2 hours here. Very safe for a single person to explore on their own as well. Buy tickets at the front door in the building.

Wonderful cultural and geographical interpretation centre. I suggest going early in the morning at the heat is oppressive in the afternoon and the trails have little to no shade. Even in our short visit as we showed up just before closing time I learned a lot and enjoyed the experience. We will return another time and walk the full trail.

Wine tours are always interesting due to the unpredictable nature of the business. Couple years back the Orofino wines were spectacular, this year however they came out a bit flat. I suppose, the recent frost damage had something to do with that. Still a great place to visit, I hope next time it'll be back to 5 stars!!!

My partner and I had a delightful stop in this gorgeous winery. The people there were amazing and very accommodating and very nice, the wines were excellent, and the scenery was breathtaking. I really recommend that you stop there if you're traveling around Osoyoos!

On a super hot day (37°C, 96°F) it was lovely to sit under the trees to enjoy tasting 5 wines. With the lack of fruit due to the frosts, BC wineries are able to partner with growers in WA and OR to continue making fresh vintages (mainly whites) Orofino chose to produce some interesting varietals not normally found in the Okanagan. Well worth the visit.

We just had 4 wonderful nights in the 2 bedroom suite. What a lovely quiet and relaxing place to spend time in. The kitchen was well equipped, the furnishings were modern and very comfortable, and we had great night sleeps on the beds. The outdoor deck was perfect for dining al fresco, and star gazing at night. They also include a free wine tasting with your stay, which should not be missed. We especially enjoyed the Beleza, but all the wines were lovely. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking to stay in Cawston.

The weather wasn’t the best this day in March 2024 when we decided to head to the Cawston area for some wine tasting. Orofino was high on the list. We enjoyed our tasting inside, as It was a little cooler outside. They do have a nice picnic like area outback where they perform wine tastings in the warmer summer months. Several wines were on offer today, and we even pet the dog that was in the “dogs of the wineries” calendar. Check out the photos. All in all, a very pleasant wine tasting experience. This winery is recommended.

Another great wine tasting at Orofino. Such a lovely patio to enjoy their great wines!

My husband and I sat on the patio and had the most incredible wine tasting of our lives so far. The view, the service, the knowledgable staff, and most importantly, the wine were all outstanding. The syrah and the library collection chardonnay (which isn't usually open for tasting!) were our favs. With each tasting, we learned details about the wine and what was happening that year - it was a true tasting experience. Will be putting in an order to ship some bottles home soon.

Our absolute favorite winery! We always end up buying a full case for ourselves and another for friends — and then keep ordering online, because their wines are the only thing that make those long Saskatchewan winters survivable (honestly, they should be prescribed for it!). Every wine is a gem: the unforgettable Sage white, their exquisite dessert wines, and the excellent dry reds that are impossible to resist. Tastings are free and include everything, so you really get to explore their whole range. Anna and her sister are true enthusiasts who know their craft inside out — warm, welcoming, and full of passion for what they do. Every visit feels special, and you will definitely not leave empty-handed. We absolutely adore this place!

This place was such a cool and unique experience! The wines were really different and we loved it. From the moment we got there, everything was great—the rose gardens and statues were beautiful. Our hostess was awesome and made it a really fun time. Definitely worth a visit!

This winery is the bar every other winery should aspire to. The owner was both entertaining and extremely informative. She is so passionate about her wines! Obviously she is adventurous in her different combinations for her wines. Hands down, the best wines anywhere. Thank you for a fun tasting.

My boyfriend’s family and I had such a wonderful experience here. We went for a tasting, as we found out they have a special selection of wines, specifically fortified wines. John was extremely knowledgeable and had such a great sense of humor. He had us laughing and really enjoying our time there. We were so impressed with the wide selection of dessert wines. Every single one was delicious, and had unique properties, and reflected high standards for their production process. We won’t share how many we purchased ;) They definitely have our business! It was so nice to sit on the bench outside, take in the view, and enjoy the sounds of the water. Thank you John! We will be back!

We stumbled upon this lovely winery for a spontaneous tasting and had no idea what a treat we were in for. The wines were exceptional — beautifully balanced and full of character — but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the owner. Knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely entertaining, they brought warmth and wit to every pour. It was the perfect ending to an already great weekend.

Silver Sage is absolutely a standout winery! The stunning grounds- with beautiful roses and a tranquil pond- create a breathtaking setting. We enjoyed a generous tasting of 13 fruit-forward wines with no fee, guided by a witty and knowledgeable server who kept us laughing throughout. Honestly, I could have taken home a bottle of every wine…. they were all that good! We ended up buying four bottles. Don’t miss this gem- hands down our favourite winery in Osoyoos!

Love this place! 💛 The team is super friendly and professional, and everything runs so smoothly. Their wines are absolutely delicious — the Pinot Blanc is light and crisp, like taking a bite of a white nectarine 🍑, and the Gewürztraminer with sage is so unique and aromatic. Definitely one of my favorite wineries in the Okanagan! 🍷

We really enjoyed these museums! The old schoolhouse was full of interesting items from old homesteads, as well as full set-ups of classrooms, a library, etc. Grandma enjoyed seeing all of the things she remembered from her school days, and the kids would have spent all day there if they could have. The ghost town was also fun to walk around. Our 8 year old got bored at that one, but our 11 year old was enthralled. The museum is free, but there's a donation jar on the main floor. Definitely worth a visit if you're anywhere nearby!

30-45 minutes from the Osoyoos! If you love mining history, this is a must see attraction. It's like stepping back in time. The museum is located in an old decommissioned school house (which is a beautiful relic). Best part is, some of the staff working in the museum actually attended school and are full of local history. Pack a lunch (with wine) and drive on down to Molson.

3.23.25) Well probably not but maybe kinda alumni. 🤣 Went to school there for one day as a visitor with the Leslie bunch (bunch of girls one boy) my cousins. It was a classroom upstairs on the east side and overlooking the swing set out front. I think I was about 10 at the time. Besides that my mother and her bunch of sisters and one brother (I don't know maybe it was the water??) And Dad went there also. They're all there in pictures except for the youngest of the cousins who ended up going to school in Oroville when the Molson school closed operation. When I was about 5 (born 1951) we (mom, dad, and I) lived in a long house just north and on the opposite side of the road from the school, pleasantly surprised a couple years ago to find the house is still there. I remember I thought it was a neat place as it had an inside water source. The well pump was right over the kitchen sink. 😲 Real modern plumbing 🙂. Daddy had his logging truck parked right outside. One day in playing outside, 5 year old me decided to climb up and get in the truck, where I stood up on the seat to "drive." But that wasn't enough, then decided I needed more and turned the key on and pushed the starter button. Old truck started right up. 🫣 Real good thing it wasn't in gear or me and truck would have ended up in the lake down the hill. After a bit I got to thinking better of it and decided dad might be real mad, so I shut it off and crawled back out. Mom and dad never knew. There was a store right next to the house so Mom didn't need to go far to get groceries. There was, still is a shop, right by the house dad needn't go far to work on the rigs. 🙂 My next adventure was that I decided to twadle on down to see dad working at his portable sawmill. This was a number of blocks away. I found a big rough sawn board sticking out of the side road dirt bank, walked to its end and sat down. After a bit Mom came down in a huff and bawled out dad for having me down there without telling her. Dad had a good time trying to explain he didn't even know I was there🤣, last adventure like that I remember having.😃 Dad's sawmill was portable, though mom said it only got ported once. It had a full size circular saw blade and daddy ran the whole thing off a bare wheel and the family car up on blocks via a long flat-belt. I remember it in both of the places it was at. The school was still in operation and the antique machinery, etc. wasn't yet a thing. Later I recall a May Day up there and the girls doing the May pole dance with the ribbons. It was up by the swing set in front of the school house. Lots of old stuff to look at in the school museum. Pictures of lots of the kids who went to school there. Old timey machinery. School even smells the same as it did way back when. Down the road to the south are some buildings housing old machinery and assay equipment. Nice collection. Old memories for me new adventures for you. I go every year now so hope I see you up there. 🙂👋 Oh, stick to the paved roads especially if you're in a RV, last year I (and some tourist in a big RV) decided to take a shortcut, not pleasant, on a long dusty rough gravel road, probably worse for them ☹️. If you're in an RV it may be prudent to come in from Tonasket as the road from Oroville includes a very long up hill section. And return the same way. If in a car you'll be fine either way. Though I find it more scenic coming from Tonasket. Then going back via the Oroville route. On the 4th of July I do the rodeo at Chesaw, then go to Oroville to watch the nice fireworks display. Welcome to all who visit, have fun.🙂

One of my favorite small and authentic museums! Local folks who grew up here volunteer during open hours. Be sure to ask about their history living there!

Really interesting Time Capsule. My husband and I came all the way from Seattle to see Molson and the school museum. It did not disappoint! I recommend walking a couple blocks down the road to see the historical site too.

This was one of the coolest old museum I have been in, the tool collection in the old gym was amazing, the lovely Ladies that greet you when you come in were full of stories, if you just spend a little time chatting with then, I will definitely stop by the museum next time I'm here.

Very interesting museum. The 2 room's in the school were preserved from the last classes held in 1968-69.
