Did anyone ever go to Forest Lske/Sylan Lake in Hopewell Junction in late 1950's, early 1960's

I was close by. Dutchess Acres on Beekman Road. We were just a liilt west of the camp - Lakeland or Kinderhook. Do you remember the hotel that was near the lake? I had two older cousins who were waiters there. We went to Dutchess Acres from 1944 through 1955. We had a small lake but we would come over to fish in Sylvan about three or four times each summer. I remember that in one of the bungalow colonies by Sylvan there was a drug store. I also remember a camp run by Workmans Circle. I remember that there were softball teams from each bungalow colony that would play the others.

Just wanted to add that I was in that area around 1996 - you wouldn't recognize it. My youngest daughter went to SUNY Oswego and played field hockey. We went to see her in a tournement at Vasser. Cow pastures, on thway to Hopewell (west of the Taconic) are now golf courses and housing developments. The small stream that feed the lake in Dutchess Acres that had beaver dams now has a beach for a condo development - no more beaver dams.

Hopewell Junction is no longer a small sleepy village with a little IGA Supermarket = they have a sopping center and traffic lights. The flat crossing of Beckman Road at the Taconic is now a regular interchange.
