The lake is 135 km (84 mi) long, in the vicinity of 4 and 5 km (2.5 and 3.1 mi) wide, and has a surface region of 348 km2. Okanagan Lake is known as a fjord lake as it has been cut out by rehashed glaciations.

Real inflows incorporate Mission, Vernon, Trout, Penticton, Equesis, Kelowna, Peachland and Powers Creeks.

Outstanding highlights of the Okanagan Valley incorporate patios which were framed because of the occasional bringing down of the lake's antecedent, frigid Lake Penticton. These patios are presently utilized widely for agribusiness, for example, organic product development.
