James Adams Mahood [d. 1901] conducted a Canadian Pacific Railway survey party along the shore of the lake in 1872.
By 1892, Mahood had cut a trail past Indianpoint Lake on his way to Tête Jaune Cache, where he was to meet the Thompson River party of Alfred Richard Cecil Selwyn [1824–1902]. A few months later the CPR chose a route far to the south and the trail fell into disuse.
