It actually began in 1959 as a 20 hectare inland fjord called Green Point Park, which was expanded into a picnicking area in 1960.

It was named after Sasquatch (a Halkomelem Salish word), the cryptid said to be endemic to the area.

It is characterized by a series of pocket lakes, a unique second-growth and birch forest, and scenic mountain ridges.

The park is located in the District of Kent, 6 kilometres north of Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia.

The following recreational activities are available: vehicle accessible camping, picnicking, hiking, interpretive walks, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, motorised boating, fishing, windsurfing, and waterskiing.
