Geocache Description:

Easy find..Near end of Irrigation Canal Trail close to the Osoyoos Desert Centre. Park @ Trail head, 49-03.194, 119-30.727

What was once Osoyoos’ only water source is today a 12-kilometre lifeline for bikers, horseback riders and walkers thirsting for the desert outdoors. The Irrigation Canal Walkway meanders along the shores of the now abandoned waterway that gave life to local wineries and orchards in the early 20th Century. It begins east of Osoyoos High School , winding north through scenic and desert vegetation until it reaches the Osoyoos Desert Centre. The Irrigation Canal Walkway provides an excellent ‘before’ and ‘after’ view of irrigation’s impact on Osoyoos’ development: one side remains in a natural state covered with sage and antelope brush, while orchards dot the landscape on the other.
