Cities bordering the lake include Vernon in the north, Penticton in the south, and Kelowna in the centre. Various lake features include: Rattlesnake Island, a small island east of Peachland; Squally Point, which is a popular area for cliff-diving; Fintry Delta on the west side; and the Okanagan Lake floating bridge, which connects Kelowna to the municipality of Westbank. Okanagan Lake is said to be home of the sea monster Ogopogo.
