The land was purchased from Samuel Otto on June 4, 1931, with the park originally named Bald Peak State Park.〔 During the Great Depression, the Civilian Conservation Corps built picnic tables, restrooms, and a parking area at the site.〔 In the mid-1930s an annual service on Easter began at the park, organized by local churches that continues to be held as of 2014. In 1939, the location was considered by the parks department as a memorial to the pioneer women of Oregon. State officials decided against this location due to the lack of water and its isolated location away from major roads.〔 In 1996, the park was one of over 50 parks that the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department proposed closing due to a state budget deficit that reduced funding for the department. However, Bald Peak and the other parks remained open after political pressure forced the department to reconsider their plans.
