Geocache Description:

Welcome to Moreau Lake State Park! Read on for a history lesson!


Welcome to Moreau Lake State Park!  This is a very historic area of the park – the site of a little community of four cottages and the Imperial hotel that came to be known as Cottage Park.   It was built to serve visitors and dam construction employees during the building of the Spier Falls Dam from 1900 – 1903.  At the time the Spier Falls Dam was the world’s fourth largest dam and the largest hydroelectric dam.  The hotel burned to the ground in 1930, and the stone wall that surrounded the settlement can still be seen today from the cache location.  Enjoy!
