The text is well structured and addresses the topic with the right depth. I learned a few new things that I had not considered before. I have already forwarded this article to those working in the same field. It is a good reference point for anyone wanting to explore the topic.

Days turn into decades! My father owned Shadow Lake resort in mid 50's . I was there as a 3 to 4 year old , believe it was 1955 to 1957 or 8.
He built the soft serve burger joint while there.
I recall a gocart track Maybe owned by a guy named Elmo?
Did a float trip with all the band members and another 15 or 20 folks ..A real big group. We all trucked several miles upriver and put in..
Turned into an absolute disaster as surprising floodwaters rapidly caused the Elk to rise well above the banks. Turning the trip into a life threatening event, paddle boards overturned and lost. Snakes and critters caught up and all in the water around us....
My sister got caught in a substantial whirlpool with a tree branch ( luckily) buried in it that she clinged to in the vortex wi…

My friends and I were hopping the fence after drinking a pint of cherry vodka a piece. I was drinking with Tommy Morrison before I could drive. This was around 91-93 . Luckily I’m still alive!!!!

Biggest bar fight I ever saw was there. Like a movie, chairs flying and everything.

First time there was probably 1985. Before the big roof was in place. We took our camp chairs and sat there and watched a live band play. I was just a kid I went with my parents. Snuck in for the first time when I was 16. There was a big freaking bouncer there. I think his name was Art. I was sitting there in a booth, chatting with a couple older ladies, thinking I had the world by the balls. I seen art coming at me out of the corner of my eye. He placed his very large hand around the back of my neck and suggested that I leave the establishment and do not return. lol

Started going to Noel in high school, we would swim at low water bridge and fish. Started partying at Shadow Lake when I turned 18 till I finally stop going when I turned 46. Realizing my window had closed and I didn’t want to camp at Wayside camp grounds anymore. 1980-2008, 28 seasons was enough. Meet some great people over the year. It was a lot cooler than Road House. It was like Eskimo Joe’s on the water! I still drive up an take a dip at low water!
Happy Anniversary Shadow Lake!!

We were there ever summer for yrs and shadow lake was always popping people rented canoe and paddle boats to get there and always came back wasted at night u could hear the music all the way down to wayside and that place was lit up like a Christmas tree!! Good times

We were there many times with Aaron. It was a whole vibe. Especially the nights Vicki Jo picked us up in her Town Car wearing a nightgown and smoking a Virginia Slim. There was also a Chinese Food stand next door that we would hit up on the way to the car.
