Similkameen River
 Similkameen river runs from Canada into the US. It flows into Washington west of the town of Nighthawk. It is held back 4 miles west of Oroville by the Enloe Dam. West of the Dam there are many different species of fish particularly Whitefish. The season starts on June 1- October 1 for all game fish except the Whitefish and that season is Dec. 1 through March 31. The daily limit is 15 whitefish otherwise all other game fish is the statewide daily limit. After Enloe Dam the river moves on down into Oroville and merges with the Okanogan River south of town. I have two lots for sale at www.lfr123.com The Similkameen River feeds into Palmer Lake in the spring at high water. (see Palmer Lake below) Rich in western heritage and gold mining history - gold was discovered on the Similkameen River in the 1850s - the Similkameen Valley is agricultural and ranching country today. Cattle ranching and horse breeding are strong industries in the valley, and the fabulously sunny climate makes the Lower Similkameen Valley one of the finest fruit, vegetable and wine growing areas in North America.
The landscape of the Similkameen is dominated by the Similkameen River and the rugged mountains of Cathedral Park in the south, a diverse topography varying from arid valleys to soaring snow-capped mountain peaks.
The source of the Similkameen River is the Cascade Mountains in Manning Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada, flowing north and east through the valley before turning south to the Okanogan River in the United States.

Sidley Lake
 Sidley Lake has year around fishing. The Lake is located right out of the community of Molson 1/2 mile south of the Canadian Border. About 13 miles east north east of Oroville at 3,679 feet in elevation lies this 120-acre Lake. The lake is open to public access only from its north bank (unless you have water craft): the other sides are privately owned. You can see two lots for sale and a map of the lake at www.lfr123.com The lake is approximately 20-30 feet deep and planted with rainbows, which now grow up to three to five pounds thanks to an installed aerator and an abundant food supply. Adjacent Molson Lake, planted with rainbows, is subject to winterkill annually because it does not have an aerator. Currently there is a two-fish limit in effect. The current price per foot of available lakefront is running an unbelievably low $250. a waterfront foot!
