1938 Photo of White Lake

At the August 2018 WLPOA board meeting, Jane Terry shared this picture that her friend Karen Weiss found of White Lake.  If you can believe the date in the corner, it is from 1938.  And that rings true because there is no golf course or developments around the lake at all.  In fact the only structure that is visible is the resort.

It's interesting that you can see the shallows back then follow the same pattern as today.  The lake level appears to be low with lots of beach showing.  Supposedly White Lake got its name from all the white sand beaches surrounding it.

More photos from the first half of the 20th Century at and around White Lake can be found in this gallery.  When you get into the photos, click the little "I" in the upper right to display captions.
