Wood Lake
is a recreation lake located in between the communities
of Oyama and Winfield, British Columbia, Canada. It is one of
the most easily accessible lakes in the Lake Country region because
it runs along side a major highway. The same major highway that
connects the entire Okanagan Valley.
Wood Lake is a popular destination for canoeing
and fishing in the summer and ice fishing in the winter. Along
the shores of the lake are a few resorts, stores and other types
of accommodations. But mostly, Wood Lake is a popular day use
lake explored by the locals.
The western shore of Wood Lake follows Highway
#97 closely. And because of the close proximity to the highway
the lake is heavily used. Access to the lake is best found along
the highway at any of the pull outs with gravel boat launches.
When traveling the Okanagan Valley, it is rare
to see the lake empty. On most days people are fishing the lake.
In the summer boats are trolling for trout and in the winter people
are sitting around a hole in the ice, jigging a line, with a warm
cup of java in the other hand.
How to Get to Wood Lake:
Travel Highway #97 north from Kelowna to Lake
Country. The lake between Winfield and Oyama, visible on your
right hand side form the highway, is Wood Lake. Once you pass
Oyama, you have gone to far. |
