Spotted Lake
Known as Kliluk to the Indian Band, this lake is sacred and can easily be viewed from Hwy 3, eight kilometers west of Osoyoos.
Each of the 365 rings is believed to have a different healing power. Spotted Lake has one of the world’s highest concentration of minerals; calcium, magnesium and sodium sulphates. In the summer heat, the lake dries out, forming colourful mud circles.
