Classic Earls with great food and drinks, overlooking Lake Okanagan and Kelowna's famous Ogopogo....one might ask what the Ogopgo means.....well here it is...." Canadian folklore, Ogopogo or Naitaka (Salish: n'ha-a-itk, "lake demon") is a lake monster reported to live in Okanagan Lake, in British Columbia, Canada. Ogopogo has been allegedly seen by First Nations people since the 19th century. The most common description of Ogopogo is a 40 to 50-foot-long (12 to 15 m) sea serpent resembling an extinct Basilosaurus or Mosasaurus. Skeptic Benjamin Radford notes that “these First Nations stories were not referring to a literal lake monster like Ogopogo, but instead to a legendary water spirit.”[

Bear Creek (Difficulty: 3/10) When talking to locals, virtually everyone has been to Bear Creek Provincial Park and Knox Mountain Regional Park.
