These are not mine, in fact all the many boxes of Lake Arrowhead pics and 8mm movies from the early 50's into the early 70's taken by my dad were lost in the 07' fire.
But being retired I enjoy searching the internet for old pictures of areas of interest and I happened across these, so figured I'd share a few I collected.
Most of these are from 1929, you'll notice a stark absence of any docks, homes and powered boats.
Race Day 1929, look at all the people and in1929, driving to Lake Arrowhead was an all day adventure from most So Cal destinations. I'm sure most Arrowheadians will recognize this as the Village Point.
Sikorsky S38-A "Flying Fish" ride anybody ?? I notice the sign on the plane states Los Angeles to Catalina Island --- Whoo Hooo, that would be fun.
Now before everybody starts hollering, where's all the women at --- here's the 1929 version of the Channel Crew Rowdy looking bunch if you ask me, but damn, those girls are hot
Now fast forward to 1937 and we'll do a bit of water skiing --- well OK, Aquaplaning, but any way you cut it, that's one wide single.
