Camp High Rocks -Pictures from the summer of 1979

More pictures of the drained lake & the regatta


The docks were left high and dry

There were lots of stumps in the lakebed - it was, after all, a forest before it was a lake.

This view toward the field cabins shows the regatta starting line at center

Dirt was moved from the hill above to strengthen the dam

A crane, bulldozers, and trucks worked on the dam

The new spillway cut, getting ready to pour concrete; this is the site of the current regattas

Spectators lined the regatta course

Troy Carmichael, Peter Lovett, Tommy Carbotti, Chris Smith, and Judson Gee watched at the finish line

Dock & house at left, dam at right; shows steep bank under rope swing area

Rope swing is at right; campers sitting on steep slope in that area of lake

View from the dam looking toward the field cabins; valve on tower has just been closed and water is beginning to back up

View towards dam as lake refilled; buddy board at left moved to be close to swim area
