The lake was created with the construction of a dam in the 1960s. The regional park was created in 1961 and, soon after, 5,000 trees were planted. Four years later, in 1965, the ball diamond and concession booth were built. The following year, the lake was stocked with 250,000 walleye. The park has amenities such as a campground, beach, dock, cabin rentals, golf, and a playground. The campground has 67 campsites, washrooms, showers, canteen, and a sani-dump. The golf course is a 9-hole course with sand greens.{{cite web |title=McLaren Lake |url=https://saskregionalparks.ca/park/mclaren-lake/ |website=Regional Parks of Saskatchewan |publisher=Saskatchewan Regional Parks |access-date=12 May 2023}}{{cite web |title=McLaren Lake Regional Park |url=https://www.tourismsaskatchewan.com/listings/1593/mclaren-lake-regional-park |website=Tourism Saskatchewan |publisher=Government of Saskatchewan |access-date=12 May 2023}}
