The Lake was so quiet, that when my siblings and I heard a boat engine, we ran to the shore to watch it go by. And we could hear the old engines of The Mt. before it became visible around Stonedam.
I didn't start coming to the lakes region until the early 70's, it was already pretty busy by then.
Then I remember the 80's boom to bust condo era. A couple buddies of mine bought condos in South Down Shores and lost their jobs, had to give them back to the bank.
