at Paul's Tomb in the Knox Mountain Nature Park in Kelowna,

mythological creature reputed to inhabit the waters of nearby Okanagan Lake.
Otter Bay in Ellison
Provincial Park in Vernon
is the site of western Canada's first freshwater scuba-diving and snorkelling
park. A number of objects have been sunk here to attract a variety of fish
and other lake-dwelling creatures. On
the northeastern shore of Okanagan Lake, Ellison Provincial Park includes
200 hectares of forested benchlands above a rocky shoreline of scenic headlands
and sheltered coves. The park's natural attractions, combined with the dry,
sunny Okanagan climate provide many recreational opportunities from spring
through fall. This park offers vehicle accessible campsites. If coming from
Highway 97 north, turn right on 25th Avenue (main intersection downtown
Vernon), park is 16 km or approximately 20 minutes from that junction. If
coming from Highway 97 south, turn left on 25th Avenue, through Okanagan
Landing Road, follow blue and white VIP signs saying Ellison Park.
