From Princeton take the Princeton-Summerland Road to Osprey Lake, driveway is directly across from the lake and campground.
Located in the heart of British Columbia’s stunning interior, Osprey Lake is a beautiful lake that offers an idyllic setting for outdoor recreation and peaceful living. Known for its natural beauty, the lake is located near the town of Princeton, in the Similkameen Valley, surrounded by rugged hills, forests, and wide-open spaces. The area offers an unbeatable combination of both tranquility and adventure, making Osprey Lake an attractive destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Osprey Lake spans approximately 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) in length, making it a fairly large lake for this region. The lake itself is relatively narrow and elongated, between the hills and surrounded by a mix of forested areas and meadows. Its maximum width is about 500 meters (1,640 feet), giving it a winding, scenic character as it meanders through the landscape.
In terms of depth, Osprey Lake is considered moderately deep. The average depth is around 10 to 15 meters (33 to 50 feet), with some deeper sections reaching up to 20 meters (66 feet). This moderate depth is one of the reasons the lake remains cool and clear, which is ideal for supporting a healthy fish population and various aquatic life.
Osprey Lake is well-known for its excellent fishing opportunities. It is a rainbow trout fishing haven, with both stocked and wild populations of these vibrant fish. Anglers often flock to the lake for the chance to catch rainbow trout that can range from 1 to 5 pounds, with some reaching even larger sizes, especially during the spring and fall.
In addition to rainbow trout, Osprey Lake also supports other species of fish, including:
The lake’s fishing conditions are optimal during the spring and fall months, when fish are more active, and the waters are cooler. The clear waters also provide a great chance for fly-fishing, with many visitors casting along the shoreline or in the deeper channels of the lake.
The vegetation around Osprey Lake is a diverse mix of forest, wetlands, and meadow ecosystems, reflecting the varied terrain and climate of the region. The area is primarily dominated by coniferous forests, with pine, spruce, and fir trees being the most common species. These trees provide shade and shelter for wildlife, and their towering presence gives the landscape a rugged, natural beauty.
In the wetter areas around the lake, you'll find wetlands and riparian zones that support a variety of willows, cottonwoods, and alder trees, which thrive in the moisture-rich soil. These areas are vital for maintaining the lake's ecosystem and offer important habitat for birds, amphibians, and small mammals.
The meadow areas surrounding the lake are scattered with wildflowers and grasses, particularly in the spring and summer months. Species like lupine, Indian paintbrush, arrow-leaf balsamroot, and bluebell can be seen adding vibrant color to the landscape.
