History

30 acre Wonder Lake was constructed in the 1930s as part of a series of improvements to the property by A. L. Cushman, who owned a chain of bakeries in New York City. The smaller Laurel Pond, 3 acre in size, was also formed after the construction of a dam was completed during the same time period.

The core of Wonder Lake State Park was the summer home of television star Elizabeth Montgomery prior to her death in 1995.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation acquired the 794 acre Wonder Lake property in November 1998 using Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act funds. and it was further expanded in 2010, expanding the park to its current size.
