Several small rivers flow into Summit Lake from the surrounding hills and muskeg. Its outflow is at the western end and, via a short river, it flows into Caribou Creek, which flows south through the lakes of Lost Echo, Lower Echo, Upper Fishing, and Lower Fishing and is a tributary of the south flowing Stewart Creek. Stewart Creek flows into the east flowing Torch River, which is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River and part of the Hudson Bay drainage basin.[6]
Fish commonly found in Summit Lake include lake trout, northern pike, walleye, and yellow perch.[7][8] The lake was last stocked with 100,000 walleye fry in 2019.[9]
