This was my Mom's favourite song when we were camping at Lost Forest in Northern Ontario in the late 60's. The Cowsills had some great music!

@BridgetR72 Loretta Lynn does a very good version of this song as well. I wouldn't try and split them, I think they are both good. Gary

From what I have read the song was written about a lake in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. Tony Romeo, who wrote the tune, lived in Pleasant Valley, NY, and had stated many times it was written about the NY lake where he visited as a young man. I've been there many times, it is lovely and worthy of the song!

@veronicanbetty69 I know that place. I grew up in the Twin Cities & my grandparents had a lake place near there.
The Jonas brothers wish that they could be even close to as good as this family.

Passed a community on Route 115 outside of Wilkes-Barre PA called "Indian Lake" on my way back from PA to NY yesterday - wouldn't you know it, the first thing that popped into my head was this song? Talk about staying power! I always wondered exactly where Indian Lake was (there are countless instances of it all over USA and Canada) - my guess is somewhere in PA. There's an Indian Lake right outside of Shanksville, PA too.
