Tulameen is a community in Yale Division Yale Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Tulameen is located at 49.5456°N, 120.7594°W.

Tulameen rests in a wide valley, cradled by the shoulders of the southern Okanagan highlands, where the air often carries the scent of sun-baked pine and dry earth. It lies 20.5 km west-north-west of Princeton, BC (from Princeton, BC: bearing 298°T), and is situated 5.4 km north-west of Coalmont. The landscape here is a study in contrasts: vast meadows, burnished gold in the late summer sun, give way to slopes cloaked in dense evergreen forests, their shadows deepening as the afternoon wears on. The Tulameen River, a glinting silver thread, meanders through it all, its banks a mosaic of smooth river stones and hardy, low-lying vegetation, reflecting the vast, often brilliantly blue sky above. The character of Tulameen is one of quiet resilience, a place where the immense scale of the surrounding wilderness makes human endeavours feel both significant and wonderfully small. The history of Tulameen is inextricably linked to the gold rush era, a time when prospectors once combed these very hills and riverbeds, leaving behind a legacy whispered in the names of claims and the occasional weathered artifact. The local economy, while still touched by the echoes of mining, now leans more towards the steady pulse of agriculture, with orchards and vineyards dotting the sunnier slopes, benefiting from the Okanagan's long growing season. More recently, tourism has found its footing, drawing visitors to the tranquil beauty of Otter Lake, its waters a cool balm in the summer heat, and the network of trails that invite exploration into the surrounding backcountry. The distinctive character of Tulameen is a blend of its rugged past and its gentle present, a place where the silence is often broken only by the rustle of leaves or the distant call of a hawk.
