Cummins Lakes Provincial Park and Protected Area
# Cummins Lakes Provincial Park and Protected Area

Cummins Lakes Provincial Park and Protected Area is a provincial park and protected area located in the eastern interior of British Columbia, Canada. It was established on August 4, 2000 to protect mountainous wilderness along the Cummins River.

## Geography

The Cummins River is a tributary of the Columbia River that forms from the glacial meltwater of the Clemenceau Icefields. As the river flows down the western slope of the Continental Ranges, it forms a trio of spectacular waterfalls that cascade into and out of a pair of alpine lakes from which the park derives its name. The river then continues down the valley before joining the southeastern arm of Kinbasket Reservoir.

## Ecology

Cummins Lakes Park protects a representative portion of the Central Park Ranges ecosection and Engelmann Spruce Subalpine Fir forest.
