The lake also offers the opportunity to fish for perch, salmon, and steelhead. Lake Osoyoos is a 5,800-acre lake at the US/Canada border near the middle of the state, with more than half of the lake in Canada. There are 30 miles of shoreline, much of which is private property. However there are numerous places with public access to the shoreline for fishing from the bank. The ideal place to launch larger pleasure and fishing boats is at Osoyoos Lake Veteran’s Memorial Park. Canoes, kayaks and other small craft can be portaged at other public access areas. A marina, stores, lodging and camping areas are convenient to visitors.
