The Leader-Herald
Although Sherman’s Amusement
Park is for sale and closed for the season, another historic destination for
summer vacationers is still going
strong at Pine Lake.
Jeff Houck said his parents, Bill
and Chardel Houck, first bought the
campground part of the park property
in 1971, then completed the purchase
in 1990 by adding the pavilion area.
The completed project includes the
private beach, boating access, campgrounds, seasonal mobile home sites
and the Adirondack Paradise pavilion. His dad is still a “silent partner”
in the endeavor, and isn’t always
silent about the park.
“He still tells me when I’m doing
something wrong,” Jeff Houck said
with a laugh.
Although no longer an amusement
park with rides and concessions of 40
years ago, Houck said they have
changed with the times and keep
adding what works.
With the closing of Sherman’s,
Houck put on fireworks July 3 at Pine
Lake. He also is hosting most of the
lake association picnics in the area
and plans two events in coordination
with the town museum. They have already planned fireworks for next July
and are looking at possible craft and
company picnic venues in the future.
“The big growth areas seem to be
in catering wedding receptions, graduation and anniversary parties,” he
said. “There’s also been a big surge
in camping and mobile home seasonal sites.”
Jeff Houck said the area offers a
nearby “quiet getaway” destination
for the capital district and Utica/Syracuse areas. On July 21, Houck had a
group of students visiting him from
Sauquoit Valley High School, about
Pine Lake Park still going strong

10 miles south of Utica, where he
teaches math. They were visiting with
students Sam, Ryan and Jim Drake,
who have a camp on Piseco Lake.
Sam Drake said they came to see
what Houck was up to “on vacation.”
Houck was having a busy vacation,
with an “indoor beach party” on July
21 featuring the local bands Saving
Atlantis, Dream Team Nation and
Permagrin. Each Tuesday starting at
7 p.m., there is live music by area
bands in the Adirondack Paradise
pavilion at the park. These events are
open to the public. Upcoming events
in coordination with the Caroga Lake
Museum include the Swing Doctors

Caroga Historian Inger McDaniels
said the Houcks were donating their
dance hall for the concerts.
According to the historic link at the
Pine Lake Park Web site, the dance
hall wast started in spring 1924 by
Joseph Groshans, a prominent local
businessman, logger and sawmill operator.
“It was Mr. Groshans’ sincere desire to bring entertainment, dancing
and pleasure to the inhabitants of Fulton and Hamilton counties. Little did
he realize that his efforts would survive until the present day,” Bill
Houck wrote.
The Houcks are the third owners of
the park since Groshans.

Scoliosis... Can it be prevented?
Its consequences can be tragic. Even with conventional, medical
intervention it can cause both physical pain and emotional suffering. If
allowed to advance, it can interfere with the lungs, heart and many
other vital organs. Severe cases can involve surgery that attaches steel
rods to the spine to force the spine to straighten.
There is hope.
Chiropractic care has helped many people avoid the unfortunate
effects of scoliosis. Early detection is critical. The chiropractic solution
is simple. Treatment is aimed at correcting the root cause of each
unique case. Leg length imbalances are measured and corrected.
Chiropractic adjustments help improve the function, mobility and
symmetry of the spine.
Call 773-2000 today for a complimentary scoliosis screening
and find out first hand the distinct advantage of chiropractic care.

total property, in excess of 400 acres,

who made extensive modifications to
the [pavilion].”
In 1975, the dance hall property
was sold to William Brandau, who
continued the operation under the
same corporate banner as his predecessor, Pine Lake Recreation Inc.
In 1984, the building once again
changed hands to Donna Rush, who
succeeded in modernizing the structure as it exists today. During Rush’s
tenure, the building was refurbished.
The long bar on the East wall was
constructed, the kitchen was newly
added, new windows were installed, a
stage was constructed to Nashville
specifications, and many other refinements were completed to bring
the building into the 20th century.
Entertainment stars such as Lynn
Anderson, Tammy Wynette, Janie
Fricki, Shelly West and Boxcar
Willie are among the performers who
have shared the stage.
Pine Lake Park Beach is busy on a rainy Tuesday in July.
