Welcome to Okanogan Country, a big, beautiful expanse of north central Washington.
     Anchored by Okanogan County, Wash., Okanogan Country stretches from the craggy peaks of the North Cascades to the rolling wheat fields of the northern Columbia Basin and from the lower Okanogan's apple country to the high desert of south central British Columbia.
     Okanogan Country's communities are joined by common history, culture and economies.
     The folks who live in Okanogan Country love the land and the landscape. We make our livings largely from the land, taking care to preserve it for future generations.
     Major industries include fruit growing, forestry and timber, wheat farming, cattle ranching, mining and tourism, plus supporting retail and professional businesses.
     Major tracts of Okanogan Country are public land, home to the Okanogan, Wenatchee and Colville national forests, Pasayten Wilderness, Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness, Loomis State Forest, North Cascades National Park, and the Lake Roosevelt, Lake Chelan and Ross Lake national recreation areas. There are many scattered areas managed by the state, federal, tribal and provincial governments.
     The southeast portion of the area, east of the Okanogan River, lies within the Colville Indian Reservation.
     We welcome tourists to our wide-open spaces. Come rendezvous with our friendly, hard-working people. Shop at a leisurely pace in our well-stocked stores. Revel in our beautiful scenery and diverse recreational opportunities. Sample our fine fruit, wines and beef.
     We welcome visitors to our region and know you'll enjoy the area as much as we do.
