Prehrada byla vybudována v letech 1958 až 1961. Jejím hlavním zamýšleným prínosem melo být zlepšování prutoku Ostravice v obdobích sucha, ve skutecnosti však brzy zcela prevážilo využití rekreacní.
Vzhledem k poloze v otevrené, jen mírne zvlnené krajine není nádrž Baška klasickou údolní prehradou; vodu tu zadržuje dlouhá sypaná hráz, obepínající zhruba tretinu obvodu nádrže.

The dam was built between 1958 and 1961. Its main intended benefit was to improve the flow of Ostravice during periods of drought, but in fact, it soon became largely the recreational use.
Due to its location in the open, just slightly curved landscape, Baška Reservoir is not a classic reservoir; the water retains a long dam, covering about a third of the tank's perimeter.
