Description
Hey guys. Here is number two of the Spotted Lake photos.I'm sorry its taken me so long. Last week was such a busy week for me. I still have one more to upload, but that will be later
The Spotted Lake is along Highway 3, northwest of Osoyoos in the Eastern Similkameen Valley.
This is a highly stopped at spot along the drive. Lots of tourists will come here to gaze or to take photographs of this lake.
Facts;
Spotted Lake is a small lake rich in a variety of minerals, including calcium, sodium sulphates and magnesium sulphate. During the hot summer months, much of the water in the lake evaporates, leaving concentrations of these minerals that form the spots visible in the lake. Throughout the summer, the spots shift in size and color as the minerals within each change with further evaporation. Colors ranging from blue to green to yellow appear, depending on the mineral makeup of each individual spot.
Today, there is a roadside sign telling visitors that the lake is a cultural and ecologically sensitive area, and a traditional medicine lake for the Okanagan Syilx people. The lake can be viewed from the fence that has been erected for protection from the liabilities of public access.
It's located in the Okanagan Desert. Canada's only Desert.
