The property was willed to Washington state upon the death of Alfred L. Seaquest, the owner of the family homestead. Seaquest stipulated in his will that if liquor were ever sold on the property, the land would "revert to the ownership of Willamette University."

The park is on the shores of Silver Lake, which was formed when a previous eruption of Mount St. Helens permanently dammed Silver Creek. Silver Lake is only ten feet deep.

The Mount St. Helens Visitor Center is located across the road from the park entrance. It was incorporated into the state park system in October 2000. The center focuses on information about the volcano and features a first-rate exhibition hall and a 15-minute film presentation of the 1980 eruption.
