The park offers tent, RV, and cabin camping, along with fishing, swimming, non-motorized (and electric motor) boating, golfing, and hiking.

In the 1860s, Daniel B. Funk, an early settler of the surrounding Sanpete Valley, had the idea of a summer and weekend resort area.

At that time, the valley was owned by a small group of Sanpitch Indians led by Chief Arapeen.

He and his family then set about the arduous task of building a dam and diverting part of Sixmile Creek to fill the lake.
