Context/Comments
This recreation area was developed between 1936 and 1938 by the WPA for the Soil Conservation Service. The property was later conveyed to the US Forest Service, USDA. It originally contained a dance pavilion, a lodge, a bath house, and cabins, but these structures have since been demolished. The former Manager’s Residence, now the Ranger’s Residence, is the only significant surviving building.
