Cummins Lakes Park is a remote BC Parks site about 60 kilometres north of Golden, on the east side of Kinbasket Lake at the head of the Cummins River. BC Parks places it below and west of the Clemenceau Icefields in Jasper National Park.
The park features glacier-fed waterfalls and lakes in an untouched mountain setting.
Cummins Lakes is a wilderness landscape for experienced mountaineers, ski-tourers, hunters, and backcountry planners. BC Parks says the area has nationally significant scenic and recreation values for wilderness mountaineering and ski-touring.
The protected terrain includes spectacular mountains, valley-floor meadows and marshes, subalpine spruce forests, three connected waterfalls, and two glacial lakes with the Clemenceau Icefields as a backdrop. Wildlife habitat values include grizzly bear, caribou, and mountain goat.
Access is limited. BC Parks describes very limited access by ski-touring across Clemenceau Icefield from Jasper National Park. The official activity list includes hunting during open season, with current provincial regulations applying.
Because BC Parks lists hunting as the only formal activity, most recreation planning here should be framed around expert wilderness travel rather than serviced facilities.
Plan around advanced wilderness mountaineering, ski-touring access from the Clemenceau Icefield area, glacier-fed lake and waterfall scenery, remote photography, wildlife-habitat awareness, route planning, and seasonal hunting where permitted.
This is a remote, very limited-access park without developed visitor facilities described on the official page. Confirm routes, weather, avalanche conditions, glacier travel needs, emergency communication, park boundaries, and hunting regulations before planning any trip.
