The park was originally established by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in 1979.[2][1] Afire lookout tower, constructed in the 1930s, once operated on the north shore of Fushimi Lake within current park boundaries.[3] The steel structure, now disused, remains fully intact as a prominent attraction for visitors, and one of the few examples of its kind still standing in the area.[3]
