During the 1930s, local men employed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) began building the lake and recreation area and planting trees to reclaim the disturbed landscape. In 1954, the land, facilities and management were passed on to the US Forest Service. In the recent past, through the dedication and great efforts of the Friends of Lake Wedington volunteer group, several of the buildings have been restored and Lake Wedington Recreation Area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
