Steamboats of Lake Okanagan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Okanagan, also called Okanagan Lake, is the largest lake in the Okanogan River drainage, which is tributary to the Columbia River basin, and is the core of the Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. During its early days of settlement and development, lack of roads in the region made the lake a natural corridor for passenger travel and freight.
