Legend of Ogopogo

by KennyG on July 22nd, 2008

Over the years, the legend of Ogopogo has gained credibility as more and more sightings are reported.
Long ago, the Indians spoke of “N’ha-a-itk” who they referred to as a fierce lake monster that resided in Squally Point which is just 20 km south of Kelowna, in Vancouver’s Fraser Valley.
Descriptions vary, but certain characteristics have been used to describe Ogopogo over the decades.
Ogopogo is green, with a snake-like body and is about 25 meters long. Some have said his head looks like a horse, while others have reported it being reptilian and even goat like.
Some have claimed to have photographed the lake monster, but like the Loch Ness Monster, all those photographs have proved inconclusive.
Is it real or not?
Why not take a trip out to Kelown, which is about a 2.5 hour drive from Vancouver, and see for yourself!
It also a great place to find out more about “The Legend of Ogopogo“.
