The town of Plateliai, situated on the shore of the lake, is the seat of the park's administration and a popular tourist destination.

[1] The hilly terrain of the Samogitian Park was formed by the melting glacier about 12,000 years ago.

The forested wetlands of Plokštinė and Rukundžiai, the hydrographic complexes of Plateliai Lake, Laumalenka and Šilinė, the valleys of the Gardai esker, Babrungas and Mergupis rivers, Paburgė, Siberia, Pakastuva, Užpelkiai, Ertenis and Paparčiai wetlands are especially valuable for science.

Next to the park, in the village of Puokė [lt], lies the largest boulder in Lithuania, the Barstyčiai stone.
