80 mile long Okanagan Lake is the home of Ogopogo (Salish "Naitaka", or lake demon). Ogopogo is depicted as a long serpent-like creature with several "humps" and a horse-like head. There have been numerous sightings, but none of them have been conclusive. One sighting was witnessed by people in 30 separate vehicles, all of whom claimed to see the same thing.
Ogopogo sightings cover the length of the lake, but are concentrated in an area just south of the city of Kelowna.
