Over the past few days, Okanagan Lake has risen on average five cm per day and continues to rise. Okanagan Lake is currently 10 cm above full pool.

Boaters are reminded that lake levels are high with a significant amount of floating debris. Boaters should keep their distance from shorelines, as additional waves could cause disturbance to banks and beaches.
