Lake Wanapitei is unique in that it’s actually a meteorite crater. The lake features sandy areas of beach and is quite scenic. The park actually is protected for the forest and vegetation in the area, but you can still enjoy swimming in the clear lake and relaxing on the stretches of beach. You can also fish in the park and be sure to bring your camera, as there is known to be wildlife and bird sightings.
