The lake is in British Columbia, Canada, to the east of Vancouver, & slightly north of the US/Canada border. Kelowna is its main town on its eastern bank half-way down this long, but at times rather narrow lake.<br /><br />Using Google Maps, we can trace a seaward route southwards from it, initially via a narrow creek at Penticton at its southern end. This creek connects up with a smallish lake called Skaha Lake. This second lake is connected southwards by another slightly wider creek with another smaller one called Lake Vaseux. From Lake Vaseux there’s a long slender waterway which reaches southwards all the way to the longish, which crosses the US/Canada border a bit south of a town called Osoyoos. The narrowish & winding Okanagan River then meanders its way from Oroville at Osoyoos Lake’s base all the way southwards (including a tributary creek to Palmer Lake to its west) to Lake Pateros & the Columbia River in Washington State, USA - & onwards along this very long but at times narrow river to Portland, Oregon (with Vancouver on its opposite bank), & out to the Pacific Ocean at Astoria on Oregon’s Pacific coast.<br /><br />There is a route, therefore, from the ocean to Lake Okanagan & its legendary occupant, ‘Ogopogo’, although it’s certainly a long & tortuous one, with plenty of meandering along the way. There’s also a modern obstacle in the way about 60 miles to the east of Portland, & across the Columbia River. This is the Bonneville Dam, which was completed in 1937. Although its fish ladders help salmon & other fish get past the dam on their journey upstream to spawn, some other species have not been able to do so, eg white sturgeon.<br /><br />This lengthy river route to & from the Pacific Ocean shows that this could be the way ‘Ogopogo’ originally reached Lake Okanagan. Could this be another very over-grown eel that found plenty of food in the lake, & then got trapped there as it grew too big & bulky to safely escape along some of the narrower creeks & waterways which connect Lake Okanagan with the sea?<br />Agincourthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710768424377064453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-69701888035279196012017-04-18T00:36:38.360-07:002017-04-18T00:36:38.360-07:00Lots of headshots from andrew bennett on sunnyokan...Lots of headshots from andrew bennett on sunnyokanagan.com<br />Most on land!!johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948846515909819569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-64271957220177797502016-05-12T10:27:33.663-07:002016-05-12T10:27:33.663-07:00Well, I'm sure it would be better for all who ...Well, I'm sure it would be better for all who accept a tangible unknown to stand together.Martin Curranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590190801760284564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-52390030271427778182016-05-12T08:13:03.214-07:002016-05-12T08:13:03.214-07:00Perhaps more a case of oneupmanship in the competi...Perhaps more a case of oneupmanship in the competition for best lake cryptid.<br />Glasgow Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597014995112568086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-6503312605143936182015-01-29T09:16:06.197-08:002015-01-29T09:16:06.197-08:00I saw a humped serpent swimming in the river going...I saw a humped serpent swimming in the river going from Missoula to Clinton, Montana, in 2000....ambernoelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776864759842717817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-8658625205672503862014-10-21T01:01:34.887-07:002014-10-21T01:01:34.887-07:00Talk to marathon swimmer Darryl Ellis who had two ...Talk to marathon swimmer Darryl Ellis who had two ogopogos swim underneath him for hours.scared him.plus one popped its head out of the water to get a closer look at him with grapefruit sized eyes..well??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-65081815527568136212014-10-21T00:57:07.860-07:002014-10-21T00:57:07.860-07:00Ken was paid 30,000+$$ by the TV shows producer.th...Ken was paid 30,000+$$ by the TV shows producer.they won't pay that for a beaver,lol!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-26253350268175300892014-10-21T00:53:50.425-07:002014-10-21T00:53:50.425-07:00Its on you tube a Canadian good morning America sh...Its on you tube a Canadian good morning America short interview.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-58978170987135074142013-09-12T12:18:07.045-07:002013-09-12T12:18:07.045-07:00I AWAIT the acceptance. ;)I AWAIT the acceptance. ;)ekmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-10761124112008952622013-09-12T11:38:24.736-07:002013-09-12T11:38:24.736-07:00I accepted this?
