Is a small community that sprawls on a narrow body of water separating the lakes of Wood and Kalamalka, 16 kilometers north of Kelowna and east of Okanagan Lake and just off Highway #97. Oyama is one of 4 main communities that make up the district municipality of Lake Country (Winfield, Carr’s Landing, and Okanagan Center are the other three).

The first post office in Oyama opened in 1906.
