10 Things to do Good for Couples in Osoyoos That You Shouldn't Miss
Osoyoos (/ɒˈsuːjuːs/, historically /ˈsuːjuːs/) is the southern-most town in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia between Penticton and Omak. Near the border with Washington state, the town is also adjacent to the Indian Reserve of the Osoyoos Indian Band. The origin of the name Osoyoos was the word sẁiẁs (pronounced "soo-yoos") meaning "narrowing of the waters" in the local Okanagan language (Syilx'tsn). The "O-" prefix is not indigenous in origin and was attached by settler-promoters wanting to harmonize the name with other place names beginning with O in the Okanagan Country (Oliver, Omak, Oroville, Okanogan). There is one local newspaper, the Osoyoos Times.

As everyone else has been saying, Sherry and Dave are special people and offer an amazing experience. The ride itself was first rate, and it felt like we were experience a live action western movie as we rode through the sagebrush foothills above the lake. My favorite part of the ride happened before it even started when Sherry was introducing us to the horses and sharing each horse's story of how it was rescued. It made the time we spent with our horse that much more meaningful. Regardless of where each one came from, it is obvious that they are now well cared for and living their best lives. Thank you Sherry and Dave for everything you are doing!

Known as the "warmest lake in Canada," Osoyoos Lake stretches fourteen miles and is a favorite for summer recreation and winter sports.
Reviewed By edn636 - Delta, Canada
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.
10. Anarchist Mountain Lookout
Overall Ratings

A scenic lookout that takes visitors from 910 feet to 4,045 feet for spectacular views of the Okanagan Valley and part of Washington state.
Reviewed By Merlin797 - Okanagan Valley, Canada
If your traveling on Hwy 3 in either direction, up or down the Anarchist, and you see the pullout for the viewpoint, you better pull off and enjoy the view. It's good, no matter what the weather.
