🛶 What’s Old is New Again…
Funny how things have a way of coming full circle.
This summer, tucked away in a tiny storage crawl space, we discovered these little birch bark canoes - each one stamped “McCreary’s Beach.”
Our best guess is that they date back to somewhere around the 1970s, when McCreary’s Beach was still a campground, and may have been souvenirs or little treasures sold right here at the resort.
Fast forward roughly 50 years and here we are… still spending our summers by the same lake, still launching canoes and kayaks from the beach, still gathering with family and friends, and still making memories at McCreary’s.
What’s old really does become new again. ❤️
We don’t know the full story behind these little canoes but we have a feeling some of you might.
Were they sold in the old campground store? Did you have one? Do you remember seeing them here?
Calling all longtime McCreary’s campers and historians. Tell us what you know! 👀
Because while McCreary’s has changed a lot over the decades, maybe the best parts really haven’t changed at all.
Same lake. Same summers. Same little piece of paradise. Just a few more golf carts now. 😂🛶
