A good sized provincial park, we're surprised that Syringa has only attracted a single BookCrossing Zone book - that being Paradise Piece by Piece, by Molly Peacock, released on Sunday, June 26, 2005.

4,417 hectares in size, the park has 61 vehicle accessible campsites and 30 reservable campsites. The campground is open from May 3 to September 30 each year, with campsites being reservable from May 10 to September 14. Camping fees in 2013 were $21 per party and $10.50 for a second vehicle. Firewood cutting is illegal but firewood can be bought for $6 per bundle.

Alongside the lake, it offers plenty of boating, fishing and swimming opportunities. The campground is set in mature forest which provides plenty of shade. There are three beach areas near the campground, Campers beach adjacent to the campground, Boaters beach at the boat launch and Main beach at the primary day-use/picnic site. In total there is 450 metres of sandy beach available. The upper part of the beaches are sandy, while the lower part is rocky. The lower part of the beaches is underwater in the middle of summer as the lake level rises.

Facilities include pit and flush toilets, boat launch, drinking water, picnic areas, group camping, playground, Sani dump station ($5.00 per use) and wheel chair accessible toilets.
