Ogopogo

Ogopogo: 

In Canadian folklore, the Ogopogo is a lake monster said to inhabit Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada. 

Some scholars have charted the entity's development from First Nations folklore and widespread water monster folklore motifs.

The Ogopogo now plays a role in the commercial symbolism and media representation of the region.

Okanagan Lake is the largest of five inter-connected freshwater fjord lakes in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Named after the First Nations people who first inhabited the area, it was created when melting glaciers flooded a valley 10,000 years ago.

It stretches for 127.1 kilometres and has a maximum depth of 232.3 metres and an average depth of 75.9 metres. Okanagan has frozen over during eight winters in the last 110 years.

The lake monster has been mostly described as being a serpentine creature with smooth dark skin with a large body thicker than a telephone pole and being up to 50 ft in length.

The monster has said to move at incredible speeds coiling its body in vertical undulations and propelling itself with a powerful tail.
