A capivating but elusive creature that inhabits Okanaga Lake. He has a long dark serpentine body up to 50 feet long, and a horse-like head.His long history dates back to legends told by local First Nations who feared "Nha-a-ith" meaning Lake Demon.
Since the early 1800's sightings of the Ogopogo have been reported and recorded by residents of the Okanagan Valley, railway workers, house painters, and tourists lucky enough to see the Ogopogo surface in various lake locations.
Searches of Okanagan Lake have been conducted several times. In 1984 there was a hunt with a $1,000,000 reward to anyone who could bring the Ogopogo in alive. It was not successful.
An underwater search was launched by a Japanese television crew in 1991. The Ogopogo eluded the high-tec submarine and its cameras too!
The Ogopogo is protected under BC's Wildlife Act.
Rattlesnake Island's submarine caves are believed to be the Ogopogo's home. He has been seen feeding near Bear Creek Provincial Park just north of Kelowna.
The Ogopogo is elusive, but not camera shy! He has been caught on film many times. So keep your camera handy while cruising along Okanagan Lake. You may be the next Ogopogo Sighting!
