Opened in 1924, the park straddles Mount Evans Road. As the highest park within the Denver Mountain Parks system (12,800 feet), Summit Lake contains a stone shelter house designed by Denver architect J.J.B. Benedict and constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s. The 160-acre park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties. On the NRHP, it is included in the "Denver Mountain Parks" and "The Architecture of Jules Jacques Benois Benedict in Colorado" Multiple Property Submissions.
