Kalamalka Lake

Canada / British Columbia / Vernon /
Kalamalka Lake is named for the Okanagan Indian chief who occupied its northern shores, although many believe that it means many colours. Kalamalka Lake is one of a handful of water known as marl lakes. When the lake warms in summer, calcium carbonate, or limestone, forms crystals that reflect sunlight and create its distinctive blue and green colours.
