The park was established on November 23, 1956, and was expanded on February 14, 1961, to cover 396 ha. It was again expanded on October 20, 2009, with an additional 15 ha to increase the park to its current size of 411 ha.

The park is home to a number of mammal species, including squirrels, chipmunks, and raccoons. Bird species that call the park home include Stellar's jays, crows, ospreys, and great blue herons. Although not inside the park, the Brackendale bald eagle colony is very close to Alice Lake and eagles from there can often be seen in the park. Marine life in and around the lakes include introduced red-eared slider turtles, and native rainbow, Dolly Varden, and cutthroat trout. Trees include Douglas-fir, cedar, and hemlock.
The park's namesake, Alice Lake, is popular as a swimming spot, as it boasts two beaches and a nearby campground with showers and electricity.
