Going through some old pics with my kids I came across these.

Was about here.

Used to be a small sand dune there.
The park used to be Mudshark beach.
With 4x4 our dads could launch the boats right there, no ramp or drama.

I suppose i should show the old pics of the boats I found to.

In 1987 I purchased a townhome that is in the picture. It is directly ”right” of where it says “Bridgewater Links”

I really liked the place. You could walk to the Channel, bridge, and sneak onto the golf course a play a few holes. It had a Great Lake view too. Back then, my boat fit in the garage, so no storage was needed.

On the other side of the golf course was a cool place to off-road. It’s now a park. Back then, I’d throw a stand up jet ski in the back of my Bronco, 4 wheel to the water, and launch the ski. The no wake zone started at the entrance to the channel, so you could jet ski right off the beach. The boat Id have to launch at site six back then.

As a LHC kid in the 70s you just had to off-road anything to could get your hands on.
