The beach is a sandy beach with some weeds, with benches and a playground located nearby. The park itself is known for its serenity, and receives low visitation compared to other Saskatchewan regional parks. There is a boat launch, but due to the small size of the lake there is a max 5 km speed limit.

The lake is located in the middle of a section of land that was crown land, and was originally called Fish Lake and renamed to Suffern Lake dedicating it after Jack Suffern who was a government agent (Forest Ranger) for the area from 1914 to 1945. Jack (a local Metis) who lived in the area started stocking Fish Lake with fish during this time.
