The name Musreau is of aboriginal origin and one of the meanings of Musreau is, "something noisy or devil-like." The Cree were the first to hear loud noises coming from the lake during the winter. Pockets of gas formed near the bottom of the lake and eventually rose to the surface creating enough pressure to crack the ice. As early as 1915, it was the name that was recorded on government maps. The other meaning of Musreau is said to be a Cree word for a young moose. Moose River is located nearby.

2010 Update on Park. A new group camping area has been built and the boat launch has been moved to a second day use area (the old group use) to reduce congestion at the beach.
A boat launch gets the fishermen on the water. Fishing is mostly for rainbow trout. It has been reported that this lake is no longer stocked so the amount of fish remaining is unknown.
Situated not to far from the boat launch is the fish cleaning stand.
Musreau Lake is ideal for swimming and waterskiing. There is a sandy beach area with picnic tables.
Woodpecker Woods is a trail designed and constructed by the Wapiti River District Junior Forest Rangers Crew in 1997. The trail starts at the day-use area and is an enjoyable hike.
The area has hiking trails, also horseback and ATV trails. In the winter the fun continues with snowmobiling and cross country skiing.
