| General Description | Osoyoos Lake is a lake located in British Columbia and Washington. Osoyoos is derived from the word suius meaning "narrowing of the waters" in the local Okanagan language (Syilx'tsn). Located on the lakeshore are the towns of Osoyoos, British Columbia and Oroville, Washington. The lake's maximum elevation is 278.22 m, while its minimum elevation is 277.20 m. The 62-year average discharge into the Okanogan River at Oroville is 19.3 m3/s. Oroville's Osoyoos Lake State Park is located on its shore. Osoyoos Lake and its outlet and primary inflow, the Okanogan River (known as the Okanagan River in Canada), are subject to international water-sharing agreements governed by the International Joint Commission as part of the Columbia Basin. The authority responsible for overseeing the IJC agreements is the International Osoyoos Lake Board of Control, composed of appointees from Environment Canada, the BC Ministry of Water, Land Air Protection, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the US Geological Survey, and private consultants. |
