Skaha Lake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skaha Lake () is a freshwater lake located in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. It has a surface area of approximately 20 km², with a maximum depth of 55 metres. The lake is situated directly south of Okanagan Lake and the city of Penticton, British Columbia.
It was once known officially as "Dog Lake", which is a direct translation of Skaha Lake's name in Syilx'tsn, the Okanagan language, although the reference was to ponies ("large dogs") rather than to dogs per se.
