The lake was created in 1925 as part of a hydroelectric project by the Youghiogheny Hydroelectric Company, which dammed the Deep Creek and created the lake. The lake has since become a popular tourist attraction and is known for its crystal-clear waters, scenic views, and numerous recreational activities.
