A lake in B.C.’s South Okanagan that attracts beachgoers has reached its lowest water level in nearly 40 years.

In early March, Osoyoos Lake registered about 30 centimetres lower than what is typical that time of year.

The low lake level has prompted the Town of Osoyoos to temporarily close its boat launch designed for powerboats in order to protect its infrastructure along the shoreline.
