very interesting, when i was young(65 now) it was always Granite Shoals. my aunt owned Sunrise Marina there. Grandfather had many properties on the lake and i even spent my high school post graduation there. it was soooo nice there back in the day before all the development.
That’s cool. I had an aunt who lived right across in Shady Oaks. 50 years ago, as kids, we’d try to swim across to Sunrise Beach. Of course, we never could. We’d get to the sand bar in the middle and play around and then swim back to the house. We would take the boat to fish there.
We’re living in the house my grand parents bought back in the early 60s. They originally planned on buying Little Lodge in Kingsland but thankfully settled on a house. It was once part of Buckner’s back during the orphanage days. Bet Little Lodge was flooded.
Yes, it’s a shame there’s been so much development. So many fishing and swimming holes are no longer. There’s constant boat noise with their music going at full blast 24/7. Wake boats have destroyed our boat dock that we had to sell the boat and make plans to tear it down. So many loud drinking parties and blaring dance music at pavilions. It’s just not fun here anymore. Oooh, and the property taxes....
