Hidden Lake

Situated on McCrory Lane stood a club featuring a swimming facility with a white sand beach. This club was called Hidden Lake. It was made from one of the rock quarries. The owners of the quarry pumped out the water, concreted the entire bottom, then hauled in truck loads of white sand to make a beach.

Gangster type bootleggers from Chicago used to come in and bring their girlfriends, according to old timers. While the girls lounged on the beach, the mobsters would spend two or three days at a time inside the club, gambling.

It was later turned into a respectable swimming hole and dance hall.
