## About the park

This 6 hectare park lies within the Nakusp range of the Selkirk Mountains within the central Kootenay region of BC. Park visitors enjoy canoeing or kayaking, fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout or swimming in the lake's clear, refreshing mountain water. Mountain goats can often be viewed on rocky outcroppings and in late summer, thousands of western toads emerge from the lake and migrate to the nearby forest to hibernate for the winter. A variety of ecosystems associated with wetlands and riparian areas are abundant immediately adjacent to the park which offers opportunity to view birds.
