The valley that is included in the park has historically been used for livestock grazing and small-scale logging, being documented as early as 1922. In 1980, the land was purchased by the
Wildlife Conservation Board to preserve the land, which was critical to the local
deer herd. It was designated as a wildlife area by the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife later that year.[2]
