The Lepänkanto landscape is dominated by deltas dotted with kettles, high esker ridges and beach ridges and shore walls. There is also a nature path in the area which provides information about the traces of ice age and human life during the Stone Age. The path also runs along Lake Kuolimo, which used to be a part of Saimaa and which is home to char and fourhorn sculpin, both relics from the ice age. Nowadays Kuolimo connects to Saimaa via Partakoski and Kärnänkoski.

Lepänkanto is located on the shore of Kuolimo, a few kilometres from the church village of Savitaipalee. The Lepänkanto area is along the "Traces of the Ice Age - Stone Age Man" hiking trail. The flat and load-bearing terrain is also quite suitable for people with reduced mobility, and there is an Inca toilet in the area.

The Lepänkanto area is owned by the Duodecim Medical Society, from which the South Karelia Recreation Foundation has leased about 5 ha of beach area. The Lepänkanto recreation area is maintained by the Savitaipaleen Youth Support Association.

A signpost in the parking lot of the Lepänkanto recreation area gives more information about the geology of the area and the trail "Traces of the Ice Age - Stone Age Man". Lepänkato is also an excursion destination for the South Karelia Recreation Foundation.
