LUCKY LAKE directed by Tina Spangler

Uploaded by tinaspangler on Jan 12, 2011
Promoted as "America's first inter-racial lake colony," Lucky Lake is located two hours from New York City in the foothills of the Catskills. The lake development, also known as Luxton Lake, was a haven in the 1950s for jazz musicians and families from the five boroughs saving for their country house. But when the lake was drained under mysterious circumstances, the community fell apart. Today's decrepit cabins and rotting rowboats are today's only reminders of the lake's rich history. Completed in 2009, this 15 minute documentary film was produced and directed by Tina Spangler, with editing, sound mixing, motion graphics & design by Mark P. Ring and cinematography by Michael Galinsky.

I spent all of my summers back in the mid to late 50s there. Learned to swim there. We have many pictures of those old and happy times. Neil Bayley nephew of Clifford and Helen Brown
