Kelowna, Canada (folk tale)

Ogopogo of Okanagan Lake

Folklore — not a documented case

A serpent-like lake creature is said to live in Canada's Okanagan Lake; its roots reach back to Indigenous stories of the water spirit N'ha-a-itk.

Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, about 127 kilometres long and up to 232 metres deep, is home to Canada's most famous lake monster. According to the tales, Ogopogo is a creature anywhere from a few metres to fifteen metres long, with a long body like a serpent or a log, whose humps show above the surface.
