At about 35 ha (86 acres) and less than 6 m (20 ft) deep, it is a small lake that has been used for recreation since before the formation of the regional park in 1967. The park was born out of 20 acres of land donated by the Gogal family from their original homestead. There is also a First Nations legend regarding the lake "which stems from a story of an Indian maiden who drowned herself rather than marry a man she did not love, who was chosen by her Chieftain father". [4]
