Sightseeing
Kalamalka Lake (a.k.a. "Kal Lake") is a large lake in the interior plateau of southern central British Columbia, Canada, east of Okanagan Lake. The lake is located approximately 4 km (2.5 mi) south of the city of Vernon and is its main drinking water supply. The lake is named after the Okanagan First Nation chief who occupied its northern shores.
At different times of the year the colour of the lake can range from cyan to indigo, in different parts at the same time, earning the lake the moniker "lake of a thousand colors". The colour of the water is derived from light scattering, caused by the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Okanagan Lake is a large, deep lake in the Okanagan Valley. The lake is 135 km (84 mi) long, between 4 and 5 km (2.5 and 3.1 mi) wide. Okanagan Lake is called a fjord lake as it has been carved out by repeated glaciations. Although the lake contains numerous lacustrine terraces, it is not uncommon for the lake to be 100 m deep only 10 m offshore.
