the grounds, from about the area below the first cabin toward the “green dock” (red)

Before the channel was dug, the boats were moored out in the lake.  They had to be bailed after ever rain too.

I still refer to this as the “green dock” because the dock that was here, when I was a kid was solid and green.  But this is the old planked red dock that was its predecessor. 

Here is the channel, with boats in it.  Note the hanging cedar on the island.  From the Elsie and ducks picture
