Lake Minnewasta and Colert Beach is a four-season facility that originated with the damming of the Dead Horse Creek in 1941 by the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA).
The name Minnewasta is from the Sioux meaning "good water." Colert Beach, on the northwest side of the lake, is named after Dr. W. Colert who donated the land and ensured the development of the beach area.
