•  The Fintry Estate
  
  Set on the western shore of Okanogan Lake, Fintry is a breathtaking park that charms history buffs along with those looking for outdoor recreation. The estate on the property was built in the early 1900s by Scotsman James Cameron Dun-Waters, who is said to have fallen in love with the area at first sight. Today, Fintry's original structures have been mended and the park now provides a look into early-20th-century life, as well as hiking, boating, swimming and camping opportunities.
