Historical Significance
The park was established in March 1999 when approximately 5,503 acres were purchased from the Morrisville Water and Light Department.Weather and SeasonsThe reservoir truly comes alive during the warm embrace of summer (June through August), when temperatures climb to a comfortable 80°F—ideal for paddling sun-drenched waters and taking refreshing swims from your campsite. Fall transforms the surrounding forest into a spectacular canvas of color, making foliage season equally magical for those willing to brave cooler conditions. Winter temperatures can dip to 20°F, creating a hushed, snow-draped landscape for the rare adventurer seeking complete solitude, though most visitors find the warmer months offer the fullest experience of this special place.
