Anstey Hunakwa Park includes a variety of landscapes at the north end of Shuswap Lake. It extends from the shore of the lake to alpine environments on mountain tops.
There are extensive areas of old-growth forest in the Engelmann spruce-subalpine fir and interior cedar-hemlock zones. Included in the park are two lakes that cannot be reached by road (a rarity in the Shuswap area) which are Hunakwa Lake and Wright Lake.
The north end of Anstey Arm is more accessible (but only by boat), and is valued for its recreational opportunities (sandy beaches) and salmon habitat.
