Nakusp, Camping

Found this pretty park on the way to Nakusp, the photo is our view of the lake from our own campsite beach. Our camping neighbours had planned to stay only overnight, the doorstep fishing had kept them there for 5 days! Our overnight turned in to two nights (and we still didn't want to move on)
Here is how the Parks web site describes Summit Lake:
Appropriately named, Summit Lake Provincial Park is a fishing
destination, located at the height of land on Highway 6,
between the communities of Nakusp and New Denver. The Nakusp
Range of the Selkirk Mountains rises 500 metres above the
lake, providing a magnificent backdrop to the many recreational
opportunities provided by this small, roadside park. Situated
on a point of land and mostly surrounded by water, campers
feel the illusion of being on an island, offering a unique
camping experience
