REALLY SO WHAT
What A Time
VACATIONS AND CAMPING
The lake was huge; a single stream fed it from the mountains
with an earthen dam at the northern end. You can see the
rock slide at the end of the lake. Those rocks were used for
material to build the dam, and the park’s buildings
The campground, at the time was simple. Just widened spaces
in the woods with no water or electricity. It was tucked in the
hillside with a pump for water and pit toilets at one end. It
was only a short walk to the picnic area, the beach and bath
house.
The main building was both a bathhouse and pavilion. It had
a couple of open showers and a row of lockers. Safety, again
was never an issue in those days.
