| But summertime brings about a magical change, when its evaporating waters give way to a spectacular polka-dotted array of colorful mineral deposits. The reason? Spotted Lake is an endorheic basin (meaning it has no evident outlet), so the lake is refilled each year with mineral-packed snowmelt from the surrounding Okanagan Valley. As temperatures rise, the lake water evaporates, leaving behind a series of yellow and teal-colored mineral deposits that materialize in a circular pattern across the lake bed. Located a few miles north of the border with Washington state, Spotted Lake has long been known as Khiluk by the region's First Nations peoples, who consider the waters a sacred site known for their healing properties. |
