I've always, always heard this as "Lake Okanagan." What's the rationale for "Okanagan Lake"? --Monado (talk) 19:40, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
It depends. Penticton residents generally use "Okanagan Lake". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.22.128.226 (talk) 18:02, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
Regarding Okanagan Lake article, I don't think it is accurate to say that Penticton borders Okanagan Lake to the south. Penticton borders Skaha Lake (technically connected by the Okanagan River), and you have to drive through Summerland and Peachland before you hit Okanagan Lake. I also question whether it is accurate to say later in the article that it is "next to" Canada's only desert ecosystem. The desert ecosystem doesn't start until you hit Oliver, almost 60 km. south. mersh@intelics.com
I am struck by how a huge lake only has a tiny outflow. If you pumped water out of the lake would it dry up? Is it water left over from an earlier climate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.194.192.100 (talk) 22:35, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
I am marking Steamboats of Lake Okanagan to be merged here because I don't think a list of steamboats having its own article is appropriate, certainly not with the sparse content that one has. My vote is merge. - SweetNightmares 16:55, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
The contents of the Steamboats of Lake Okanagan page were merged into Okanagan Lake. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
This BADLY needs changing! It's from such a far vantage point that the lake is barely even prominent in the picture - being exceeded greatly by forest and mountains. It gives absolutely no perspective of its true color and beauty, relation to the city, size, etc. There are so many good pictures of his lake out there that it's an absolute crime for this one to be displayed so prominently. I will try to find another online that better shows it off and is free - or else I may just take one myself. You guys are more than welcome to do it first though if you have time! Any thoughts on this?
Not sure why Summerhill Winery was listed in the see also section. That specific winery is no more relevant to the lake than any other. Seems like an advertisement. 142.22.128.226 (talk) 18:06, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
