Zed Lake is part of the Churchill River watershed, lying between Vandekerckhove Lake and Goldsand Lake.[4] Jack pine and black spruce grow in open stands with a ground cover of lichens.[3] The park is within the Churchill River Upland ecoregion of the Boreal Shield ecozone.[3] Zed Lake greywacke is found to the east and the south of the lake. Its presence is an indication of an ancient ocean that existed approximately 1.88 billion years ago.[5]
