Lake Country is truly the best kept secret in the Okanagan Valley! Here is
where the sun, water, mountains, friendly people and fun all meet.
Lake Country is made up of four different communities with a population of
approximately 10,000 and growing. Winfield remains the commercial centre of the
district, Okanagan Centre and Carr's Landing are both residential communities
that lie on the shore of Okanagan Lake.
Recreation opportunities are a plenty within our community. Lake Country is
surrounded by several great lakes including: Okanagan Lake, Kalamalka Lake, Wood
Lake and Duck Lake; and many smaller ones hidden within the Coastal and Monashee
Mountain ranges.
The warm, dry climate of the Okanagan Valley provides great recreational
opportunities, including fishing, hiking, golfing, camping, sailing, swimming,
paddling and all water-borne activities.
Carr’s Landing
By 1901 Andrew Carr, a Civil War veteran from Illinois, and his wife Agnes
had built their home just north of where the Geen’s fruit packing house stands
today. The Carr’s Landing wharf was built below the house and the old pilings
can still be seen where sailing lessons are now held each summer. Settlers such
as the Carr's, Thorlakson's and Gibson's farmed close to the lake and ranchers
like Joseph Cools ran cattle into the Charolais area.
The small Sunnywold School opened off Commonage Road and became a focal point
for the new community, but for several decades whilst Vernon, Kelowna, and even
Winfield, grew rapidly, Carr’s Landing remained a quiet rural, farming
community.
Coral Beach was one of the first areas to be subdivided in the early 1960s, and
much development has occurred since then. Much new development occurred during
the 70s and 80s and whereas the very early settlers came predominately from the
USA and the United Kingdom, our population now comes from all over Canada and
the world to create a community even richer in human resources.
Okanagan Centre
Okanagan Centre was once a city but is now a residential community that lines
Okanagan Lake, offering a convenient boat launch. The Lake Country Museum in
Okanagan Centre displays over 3,000 artifacts depicting the history and heritage
of the local community, commencing with the early settlement days. On display is
an old fire engine from the Winfield Fire Department, plus farm machinery and
tools, organs, phonographs, cameras, and much more. The museum is situated in
Okanagan Centre Park, near the lake.
Golf: Golfers can tee off at Predator Ridge Golf Course, or nearby Aspen Grove
Golf Course.
Schools: For a list of Lake Country schools, contact Christine Wolter at

Spa and Resort: The world-class Sparkling Hills Resort is not to be missed!
Experience it! So worth it!
