Yes! This is definitely “Shelton’s Lake” in Pfafftown. I learned to swim in that lake in organized community swimming lessons. My Mother faithfully took my sister, my brother and I to summer swimming lessons. Some of my fondest summer childhood memories originated there…swimming with my siblings and friends. The snack bar offered welcomed treats after swimming until we were so tired we could drop. I remember the great hot dogs and the “cherry” Cokes. All this took place in the late ’50’s.
It was owned by Ivor H Shelton and ILA Tucker Shelton. William H Shelton was their son Carolyn Shelton daughter-in-law.
It was established in 1952 to around 1986.
The picture you have is of the lake.
They were my grand parents and parents.
Lots of church baptisms on Sunday morning and Wake Forest parties. Family reunions fish fry’s and picnics.
Confession stand with hot dogs ice cream and fountain drinks and frozen candy bars.
Juke box for shag dancers!!
Tire tubes for rent to float on.
Great times and memories!!
