The lake was constructed in 1952 by the Grand River Dam Authority to provide a reliable water supply for the surrounding area. It covers an area of 2,880 acres and has a maximum depth of 87 feet. The hydrology of Lake Eucha is primarily influenced by surface flow from nearby tributaries and runoff from the surrounding watershed. The lake also receives water from snowpack during the winter months. The primary agricultural use of the surrounding land is for grazing, and the lake is a popular recreational destination for fishing, boating, and camping. The lake is stocked with a variety of fish species, including bass, catfish, and crappie, making it a popular spot for anglers.
