The park stretches along Lake Baikal's northeastern shore, covering 269,000 hectares of mountains, dense forests, and 36,401 hectares of lake waters.

Established on September 12, 1986, the park serves as a federal protection zone for preserving natural territories on Lake Baikal's eastern coast.

The territory includes two settlements, Kurbulik and Katun, where 140 residents maintain traditional ways of life near Lake Baikal.

Visitors need special permits to access the park's areas, which include hiking trails, guest houses, camping sites, and information centers.

The Ushkanyi Islands within the park form the largest rookery of Baikal seals, gathering up to 3,000 specimens during summer months.
