East Beach
Photo compliments of Richie Brazicki This is the old raft that was located at the East Beach. The photo is from July 1972. If you look closely you will notice the Pied Piper Ice Cream truck at the beach entrance, and all the lake owned boats along the beach.
Undated photos show what the East beach once looked like. Rt 206 Construction
Two old photos of Rt 206 being constructed in Branchville, the year is 1941. They show the completion of the actual construction of the new Branchville bypass. Prior to this, Rt. 206 went right through the town of Branchville.

Photo compliments of Bill Rowan
Growing up at the lake many years ago, one of the weekly bicycle trips over the summer would be to The Orchard. This was a small stand on the side of Rt 521 about a mile before
you'd reach Rt 206. It was owned and operated by Pop Tooker. Penny candy, ice cream, and soda.
Pictured are some of the members of the softball team from the mid 70's.

Dam Renovation 2002-2003
I am happy to report that our Dam is completed.
Hutton Construction worked during bad weather this winter and spring to have the lake ready for this summer. They are to be congratulated for a job well done. The stop logs are in and the lake is full.
For the Benefit of our community there will be no fishing or trespassing on the Dam property (the stones on the lakeside represents the dam property).
We hope our adults will show a good example to our young.
