The park sits atop a small peninsula located on the western shore ofSummit Lake. The lake is surrounded by theNakusp Range of theSelkirk Mountains, which rises 500 metres above the lake.
Park visitors can enjoy fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout or swimming in the lake's clear, refreshing mountain water.
