Line 59: The lake is drained by the [[Okanagan River]], which exits the lake's south end via a canal through the city of [[Penticton]] to [[Skaha Lake]], whence the river continues southwards into the rest of the South Okanagan and through [[Okanogan County, Washington]] to its confluence with the [[Columbia River\|Columbia]]. The lake's maximum depth is {{convert\|232\|m}} near [[Grant Island (Okanagan Lake)\|Grant Island]] (Nahun Weenox). There isare ~~one~~three other ~~island~~islands: one known as [[Rattlesnake Island (Okanagan Lake)\|Rattlesnake Island]], much farther south by Squally Point. The other two are near Grant Island. They are unnamed and are located just north of the north-point of Whisky Cove at Carrs Landing.Some areas of the lake have up to {{convert\|750\|m}} of glacial and post-glacial sediment fill which were deposited during the [[Pleistocene Epoch]].<ref name="eyles90" /> Notable features of the [[Okanagan Valley]] include terraces which were formed due to the periodic lowering of the lake's predecessor, glacial [[Lake Penticton]]. These terraces are now used extensively for agriculture such as fruit cultivation.
