The East Haddam village of Moodus was similarly named after the preceding Wungunk village. The park was created when the Echo Farm dairy farm was purchased by the state for $2.1 million in 1998.

The growth of the resort areas of Lake Hayward, Bashan Lake and Moodus Reservoir began in the early 1900s and was a booming business for the next fifty years. Lake Hayward is a small private lake community within East Haddam that is home to around 120 families, most living at the lake only during summer months. [5]
Moodus had many local resorts that operated during the course of the early and mid-20th century.

Nearby Bailey Beach on Bashan Lake was popular with local residents and vacationers alike.
