Looking Back

Throughout 2026, our anniversary year, this section of our website will updated with articles and photos looking back on the history of the lakes. 

 

1.  Camp Wabunaki was a girls camp that was located on Hancock Pond near the boat launch and on the nearby island. The reminiscence featured in our story was written by the late Eleanor Neily, who attended the camp in 1933 as an 11-year-old. The Neilys had one of the first camps on Hancock Pond.

2. Camp Blazing Trail was a girls camp located near the Dugway founded in 1930.  We feature a tribute published by the camp on the occasion of its 25th anniversary.
