The park features sub-alpine landscapes, remnant glaciers, rugged peaks and productive lakes.

These trees are also intermingled with juniper, twinberry, false azalea, white rhododendron, and buffalo berry.

The wildlife of the area includes Beaver, Snowshoe Hare, Red Squirrel, white-tailed deer, moose, and many varieties of birds.
