Oroville, Washington - Connect with Nature, Community and Sustainable Growth.
Oroville is located in Okanogan County, North Central Washington State, just 4 miles from the US/Canadian border. Oroville is located at the south end of beautiful Lake Osoyoos which it shares with its Canadian neighbor to the north, the city of Osoyoos.
The Okanogan Valley, which Oroville and Osoyoos are part of, is at the northern tip of the Sonora Desert and is considered a high desert region, but truly embraces all four seasons. The area averages between 9 and 10 inches of precipitation per year. The combination of climate and soil conditions provide a very rich agricultural growing environment. There are orchards still producing great fruits like apples, pears, apricots, peaches, cherries and now wine grapes supplying three new wineries in Oroville.
The area provides 300+ days of sun per year, hich allows for enjoying many great outdoor activities like: swimming, water skiing, jet skiing, boating, fishing, bird watching, golfing, hunting, hiking, water rafting, skiing, snowmobiling.
Oroville is located in the heart of the Via 97 International Corridor, the northern gateway to the Okanogan Trails Scenic Byway, near the Coulee Corridor US Scenic Byway, on the Pacific Northwest Trail and the Greater Columbia Water Trail.
Oroville is primarily an agricultural and recreational based economy. A grower owned co-operative warehouse is located in the city limits. Hay and grain products are still farmed in the valley and highlands, and quality beef cattle along with some of the finest horses in the nation are bred and raised here. The timber industry is represented by three wood product related companies.
Oroville provides a great link for transportation of goods between Canada and the U.S. with the existence of a recent heavy haul corridor designation, which can provide loading and unloading at the rail line in town, which runs south to Wenatchee. Oroville also has an International Airport.
An exciting part of watching Oroville become discovered and developed will be the emergence of new business opportunities for the local community from restaurants, shops and tourism activities such as sustainable farms and artisans inviting people to visit and learn.
