North Lake Campground was first developed on Catskill Forest Preserve Land in 1929. At that time, there were two separate lakes with an earthen dam between them. The campground was constructed on North Lake only, as South Lake and the land east of the present North Lake beach were privately owned. The original campground consisted of 10 sites and a small picnic area. In 1933, the campground was expanded to 43 sites and the picnic area was enlarged. In 1936, the beach at North Lake was constructed. During the late 1960's and 1970's, the campground was again expanded, reaching its present level of 219 sites in 1972. With the purchase of South Lake, a second day-use area was completed in 1984. The narrow isthmus between the lakes was removed and a dam was built at the outlet of South Lake to create one large lake.

This is it.. However, notice when all of the things were changed. I was camping there in 1952..1953.. and maybe another year. Had a heavy canvas tent,Coleman stove,a dog... a friend from college and fishing gear. Every day it was eat fish.
I bet that area as well as the camping area changed quite a bit. It was so rural then. There was a bridge near there where I used to cast for pike.. Never did get one.

Thanks for finding that.
