Oyama BC is called the "jewel of the Okanagan" and is one of the central Okanagan communities that form the beautiful Lake Country district of the central Okanagan valley.

It is orchard country and principally a rural area affording lovely vistas of lake and mountains. It is known for its beautiful clear lakes and is a great place for fishing, hiking, boating, swimming, canoeing and kayaking, sailing and all water sports. It is also a good area for bird watching.

In winter there is world class downhill skiing nearby as well as opportunities for cross-country skiing and snow-mobiling.

Oyama accommodations include inns, resorts, bed and breakfasts and campgrounds.
