Just south of the Canadian border, Okanogan County is where the Mountain West and pristine beauty of Washington’s high-desert country is alive and thriving. With more than 3,000 miles of hiking trails through national forests, Okanogan County has the largest Nordic skiing system in the country. From backpacking, mountain climbing, fly-fishing and horseback riding to snowmobiling, hot-air ballooning and hunting – the region is a playground for those with a passion for the outdoors. Residents enjoy wide-open spaces, clear blue skies, the matchless rhythm of all four seasons and the splendor that comes with each of them.
Omak is at the foot of the Okanogan Highlands and is home to more than 4,700 residents. In addition to the bounty of outdoor activities, the area also features quaint shops, restaurants and unique annual community events, like the Omak Stampede, the pow-wow and Cinco de Mayo celebrations. The region’s rich agricultural heritage includes award-winning wineries and fruit orchards, and the area supports a thriving cultural community of art galleries, theater and live music.
