It is jointly administered by the Lytton First Nation and BC Parks.

In 2008, it was renamed a Conservancy, reflecting the co-management of the park by BC Parks and the Haisla.

It was maintained by BC Parks until 2000, when responsibility was handed over to the Alpine Club.

The lake is purposed to be the "warmest lake in the Kootenays" with many popular beaches run by BC Parks.

It is managed by Sea to Sky Parks for BC Parks.

Part of it is protected by BC Parks as the Pitt Polder Ecological Reserve.

It was acquired by BC Parks in 1964.

Eventually the owners retired, and ownership was transferred to BC Parks.

BC Parks has responded to growing popularity of freeriding with increased enforcement against illegal trail building and usage.

In the 1990s BC Parks initiated a trail rehabilitation program to prevent further damage from park visitation.
