The peninsula is the home of Mount Blanchet Provincial Park.

Also on the peninsula is a herd of collared woodland caribou, and the winter range of grizzly bears.

Two special features are Takla Lake Marine Park, and an Ecological Reserve[2] on the peninsula, a stand of very northerly Douglas Fir.

Takla Lake is also the origin of both of Canada's national airlines, both Russ Baker and Grant McConachie running bush plane routes out of Takla Lake.
