The lakes are the products of the joint efforts of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife as well as the New Jersey Green Acres Program. They were built around 1970 to provide flood protection for the Assunpink Creek, drainage, fish and wildlife habitats, and recreation.
