    Dams on Buckshutem Creek

    Dams on Buckshutem Creek

    Interestingly as long as the lake has been here the settlement of the lake itself outside of the widely spaced dwelling wasn't undertaken till the 50's as a Shooby retirement/vacation home site.I live in one of the original bungalow and was originally owned by the parents of the shoobies who...

    Laurel Lake has been here for well over 200 years I believe and there is the remains of an old mill dam where gravelly run crosses battle lane (Would love to know how that road got it's name) As long as the lake has been there there are miraculously still cedar stumps under the dark waters.

    Dams on Buckshutem Creek

    Dams on Buckshutem Creek

    There was supposedly an old log cabin here a couple centuries ago that a recluse lived in.The area is open pine and appears to have been a field once with no huckleberry root layer. https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.341719/-75.054262/lidar2021bw/0.00/0.00
