Summit Lake Provincial Park, Provincial park in Central Kootenay region, British Columbia, Canada.

Summit Lake Provincial Park spans 6 hectares on a peninsula extending into Summit Lake, surrounded by the Nakusp Range of Selkirk Mountains.

The British Columbia government established Summit Lake Provincial Park in 1964 to provide recreational opportunities and support regional tourism development.

Local residents and visitors gather at the park's campground to fish for rainbow and cutthroat trout while experiencing the natural environment.

The park features 35 vehicle-accessible camping sites arranged in a circular layout, with cold well water available from three taps throughout the grounds.

Each fall, thousands of western toads emerge from Summit Lake and travel across the parkland to reach their forest hibernation locations.
