The tract was acquired in 1934 as the gift of a group of Buchanan County sportsmen and was originally named Sugar Lake State Park. The name was changed in 1938 to honor
Lewis and Clark
, who are believed to have discovered the lake, naming it Gosling Lake, on their expedition in 1804-1806.
[5]
The
Sugar Lake State Park Open Shelter
was built in 1934 by a
Civilian Conservation Corps
company who encamped briefly at the park. It is a stone picnic shelter on a poured
concrete
foundation.
[6]
The shelter was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places
in 1985.
