The lakes, especially Carlyle and Fish, provided recreation as, starting in the early 1900s, cabins, stores, and dance halls were being built.

With the Great Depression causing high unemployment, many government work programmes were set up, including the creation of six provincial parks.

Work began in the spring of 1931 with the building of Moose Mountain Chalet, landscaping, building of Main Beach on Kenosee Lake, and a road going south connecting the park to Carlyle Lake and the town of Carlyle, and going north to Kennedy.

Three subdivisions, McNaughton, Sunnybank, and Sandy Bay, were built alongside Kenosee Lake with cottages made available to private owners.

A stonemason named Charles John Parker from Ontario was brought in to build the three-storey Moose Mountain Chalet.

[7][8] The Moose Mountain Chalet and Cabins were officially designated a Provincial Heritage Property on 20 January 2012.

Kenosee Lake is the largest body of water in the park and serves as its central tourist attraction.

Seasonal recreational activities in and around the lake and park include fishing, hunting, hiking, cycling, swimming, boating, water sports, cross-country skiing, snowmobile riding, horseback riding, miniature golf, and golfing.

The Core Area, sometimes referred to as Kenosee Park, is where many of the main attractions and services are located.

Allison Park Store, Kenosee Inn & Cabins, Moose Mountain Chalet, Artisan Colony, Masters Mini Golf, tennis courts, laundry services, picnic areas, and Kenosee Lake Main Beach are all located there.

[12] Poplar Lane and Aspen Meadows, just to the west of Fish Creek, are group camping sites.

A Special General Meeting of Shareholders was held in 2002 to try to figure out a solution and to discuss options to once again make the golf course a premier destination.

However, the actual cash value, including donated labour, equipment, and materials, was closer to two million dollars.

[21] The redesign coupled with rising lake levels has meant that Golf Kenosee and Moose Mountain Provincial Park once again became a go-to destination.

Permits are required for ATVs and are restricted to designated areas between 15 June and the end of Labour Day.

Fish species include walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, burbot, and white sucker.
