came to enjoy swimming and fishing while in winters you would have seen skaters dotting the lake by this time cottages were built around the lake there was also a public beach and park with a food booth up until the mid 1900s a trailer park stood for 25 years where the tokai plant now stands the lake is now private and not open for public use in 1985 when a developer started building estate
