Long point is one of my favorite places on the lake. that is a beautiful neighborhood and if I were to pick a neighborhood to buy in it would be Long Point - except of course my own beautiful LaMona Beach neighborhood. The two neighborhoods have a completely different feel though - Long Point they refer to as the "glitter and gold rim of the lake" - LaMona Beach is very cottage-like. Either is beautiful in their own right and dependent on what you are looking for - (-: and can afford (-:

I was in Coyles a few weeks ago enjoying breakfast and they ahve those great photos by the door. I saw a picture of the same boat I have on my film - the Evelyn Boat. The Coyle's picture called the boat the "Coyle's Fish Tug". I do know Denise McKenzie who owns Coyles so I am going to see if she has any details also. But I am wondering if that boat was used at one time to catch fresh fish for Coyles and served at restaurant? Probably couldn't get away with that today - but back then?

At the 3:06 mark, I am 99% positive that the picture is of Spring Brook in the East Bay just North of Denton Creek. My family owns the land abutting Spring Brook and we have similar picture from generations ago before sea walls and well pumps got there. Again I am not 100% certain but it still looks exactly like that shapewise and the cut of the creek, but just a bit smaller, and i believe one of those trees is still on the shoreline, it is either a Giant old Willow tree or an Oak.

Wow, makes me homesick for all the great summers I had there, growing up! My grandfather hunted, no doubt with the guys in these photos, he was there all through the 20's & 30's before he built his own cabin down by the lake. He hunted all through what are now the neighborhoods along the south side of the lake before they were split into streets & lots. Our street was full of all my G'pas best friends who were there at that time too. Thanks for sharing!

That is fascinating and I had no idea. Do you know what the name of the hospital was or can you pinpoint any years (or can your dad (-: Honestly, I will tell you what, Houghton Lake's history is one of its greatest assets and it is too bad it is not promoted more to benefit this community and preserve this fascinating history. I would love to put out a book someday just to preserve the record.

We used to stay at Heilman's resort every other year in the 50's and 60's. Don't recall it's exact location (address, etc.) as I was a boy and only cared that dad got us there and I could swim and fish. Anyone know where exactly it was, and does it still exist? If I ever get a chance to return to Michigan and go to Houghton Lake, would love to stay at the same resort.

Bombarding you here, but what can your dad tell me of the history of LaMona Beach on the east side of the lake? If he has any pictures of this beach I would LOVE to scan and return them because I have a home there (or any pictures for that matter). The Houghton Lake Syndicate established LaMona Beach in 1928 - does he know any history of the Syndicate?

Down at the end of Devonshire and on the right - on the south side of the lake - Prudenville - there was once a resort. I guess there was once an ice business (for those days before the refridgerators we have today!) in a building there that employed 12 employees. Does he know what that resort was called?

Does dad know any of the history of this Floyd "Spikehorn" Fletcher's Excursion Boat? I am wondering if it is related to the Spikehorn restaurant that is today on the NE side of the lake. There was also a Fletcher and Clark Resort and I am wondering if it was the same Fletcher. Dad know any history?

There is a photo of a family with a camper at an establishment marked on the building as the "Lake Breeze Tavern". I think it is maybe in the 40's? Does your dad know where this tavern was located?

margopauli commented on 27 Jun 2009

I'll bet your father is a fascinating man to talk to. I do have a few questions. I'll attach a few questions I've been curious for information on. Let me know if he knows about any of these.

My famiely rented wendemere lodge for my dads 40th birthday. Do you live in houghton lake? Also, To the right of the pines theater would be townline rd. . the picture is looking south.

Chris Tuck commented on 15 Aug 2009

at 3:25 (Pines Theatre) you are looking at the Pines from the north (looking south) and to the right of it would be Townline Road. Tower Hill is about a mile or so back to the west.

Chris Tuck commented on 25 Jun 2009

the oicture of the Pines Theatre is looking south/southeast and is at the intersection of what is now M-55 and Townline Road. Right next to Pineview Highlands Golf Course

margopauli commented on 06 Jul 2009

At 31 seconds I see a picture of some hunters, not a building. Are you referring to Powell's the restaurant on M-55? ... or maybe am I looking at the wrong slide?

Brian Zorn commented on 30 Nov 2011

Great video, though why the repeat pictures? There has to be more (different) pictures to use. More from old tip up town and other winter pictures would be great.

I grew up as a kid riding my bike on the old trail on Devonshire. I own a cabin on Devonshire now and my kids love going to the island to swim and play.
