  • Fall 1987 Vol
    .. VIEWPOINT Pennsylvania is blessed with many lakes. The 8,300-acre Lake Raystown is Lake Resources our largest lake, but the vast majority are much smaller. The Pocono and Mountains area is particularly renowned for its numerous small lakes. Around the turn of the century, people began to see lakes as places where they could the Future go to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Summer communities sprung up around Conneaut Lake, Harveys Lake and Eagles Mere Lake. Cottages with few amenities were built and residents contented themselves sitting on screened back porches, contemplating their peaceful surroundings. In the evening it was not uncommon for lovers young and old alike to row around the lake in their wooden Adirondack boats to talk with each other and their neighbors and to enjoy the peacefulness that water brings to all of us. In the early years, much of the access to these Chautauqua-like communities was by rail. As better roads were built, more and more people began to travel the long distances to share in the tranquility of lake communities. Additional cottages were built and soon many lakes were surrounded by dwellings. The cottages were so close that access to the lake by a non-property owner could only be gained across someone's lawn. The houses were also becoming year-round residences not just summer retreats. Today, developers are building on lands far removed from the shoreline but through acquisition of lakeshore property they ensure access to even more people. Lake communities are not what they used to be.
