Many parks and beaches are found along the shores of the lake,

which make boating and swimming very popular activities.

 The lake is home to several species of fish, including rainbow

trout and kokanee. It is said by some to be home to its own

 lake monster - a giant serpent-like creature named Ogopogo.

 

Okanagan Lake is composed of three basins:[citation needed]

a larger north basin, a central or mid basin, and a southern basin.

 The lake is drained by the Okanagan River which exits the lake's

 south end via a canal through the city of Penticton to Skaha Lake,

from whence the river continues southwards into the rest of the

 South Okanagan and through Okanogan County,

Washington to its confluence with the Columbia.
 

The lake's maximum depth is 232 metres near Grant Island

 (also called "Whiskey Island" or "Seagull Island" by locals).

There is one other island known as Rattlesnake Island, much farther

 south by Squally Point. Some areas of the lake have up to 750

 metres of glacial and post-glacial sediment fill

 which were deposited during the Pleistocene Epoch.[1]

Notable features of the Okanagan Valley include terraces

which were formed due to the periodic

 lowering of the lake's predecessor,

glacial Lake Penticton.

These terraces are now used extensively

for agriculture such as fruit cultivation.
