The lake was expanded to thirteen acres when the Civilian Conservation Corps replaced the original dam with a larger one.

The CCC was active in the park from 1933 until 1942, maintaining forest roads, planting trees, and adding day-use facilities including bathhouse, gazebo, and picnic shelters.

The CCC also built cabins for overnight stays and slopes that created the state's first ski resort.

The park's 10 miles (16 km) of trails are used for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing.

Other amenities include cabins, campsites, nature center, snack bar, and picnicking facilities.
