JOHN JANSON, Davis County planner, brought the commission up to date on the redevelopment effort. He stated that there are several sites to choos from, but they should be narrowed down to only three or four, np SYRACUSE RESORT By DONETA GATHERUM The year after Lake Park Resort opened west of Farmington, D.C. Adams of Salt Lake City and Fred J. Kicsel of Ogden, built a rival resort just west of Syracuse near the present day road to Antelope Island. The resort was named Lake Shore or the Syracuse re- sort. THE UNION Pacific railroad built a track spur to the resort so people from Salt Lake City and Ogden could enjoy the pleasure spot. Fare from Ogden was fifty cents. The railroad was also used to haul salt from a large plant on the shore to the market places. An early newspaper dated June 27, 1887 headlined Syracuse The new pleasure resort on the lake shore near Ogden, grand opening will take place Monday, July 4. The finest beach anywhere on the lake is Lake Shore at Syracuse. It is not muddy, in fact, it is just wat is wanted for a first class resort. A STRONG substantial pier has been constructed and on it are erected a large number of bath houses with every convience for bathers. This is the only resort on the shore of the lake athat has natural groves. The shade of the trees are excellent and well adapted to family and picnic parties. An excellent dancing floor and bowery have been built on piles and rocks. Eventually the pilings slipped to one side and the floor warped as water flooded into bei-mn- e the building. ONE VERY favorable attraction at Lake Shore that most of the Great Salt Lake resorts lacked, were shade trees. The of all visitors." Mrs. Cora Bodily Bybee has left a the 2,000 patrons the real 4th of July spirit. An estimated 60,000 people visited Lake Shore the first season. A picnic bowery was located at the end of a 300 yard pier. From the shore extension of the railroad, A Y allowed trains to turn around. When steam engines were not using the line, the Syracuse Horse Railroad Co. operated cars on the track. ALONG THE pier, 74 bath houses were built. Each unit had fresh water for showers. John D.C. Gadd speculates this fresh water could have come from artesian wells that still exist in the area or from a ditch that carried water possibly from the Hooper Canal to Lake Park. The water was stored in a 5,000 gallon raised into tank and then gravity-fe- d the bath houses. A 125x75 foot dance pavilion lighted by coal oil lamps was one of the main park buildings. Dance music was furnished by orchestras from Salt Lake City, Ogden or by local musicians. The pavilion was first-han- d written account of Lake Shore, Outside on the east end was a stand for refreshments such as water, ice cream, candy and popcorn. ON THE 4th and 24th of July, a large crowd of people from many towns would gather there to swim in the lake and dance in the pavilion. Besides the train bringing in loads of people, the roads were often lined for miles with wagons and white tops. Many a prize p waltz and was danced on this floor and at one time the old cake walk was danced. I two-ste- the time alright. "The bathers were taken back and forth to the bath houses in a street car pulled by two mules, driven by an employee of the resort. After having the swim, they were brought back the same way, and danced in the old pavilion or enjoyed the merry-go-roun- d which was in the old grove. It was run by a horse driven by Bert Nylan. Ther were swings for the children. ALL KINDS of amusement was carried on in the old dance hall. Talented musicians, d acts and different kinds of attraction to draw the crowd. Also foot racing and wrestling and fights a plenty over the best girl friend when some young man had stood at the bar too long. The lawn on the spacious east was a good place to cool off. The bathing houses west of the pavilion were made of a large room and some of them are still in use on farms as sheds. We have one on our farm just three quarters of a mile north of the old resort. THE QUARTERLY conferences of the LDS Church were held ther for many years. slight-of-han- un-c- also the socials of the LDS MIA." Because of the receeding lake water, the muddy beaches and other problems that have forced so many lake resorts to close, Lake Shore was abandoned between 1890 and 1894. Many people believe some of the buildings were moved to Lagoon. THE DANCE pavilion was moved in 1903 or 1904 up the track and put at the east end of the Syrause Canning Factory. It was used of a store house and they danced there one season, but the warped floor was not good for dancing. Later the building was tom down. The railroad tracks were not removed until Nov. 9, 1953. Some pilings and the CLEANING, JUST A few years ago, Bill Holt a Syracuse farmer and former state legislator, worked with the state of Utah to have a sign describing the Lake Shore Syracuse resort errected on the eastern shore of Great Salt Lake. The sign was painted by park ranger, R.J. Michael and financed by Syracuse city as a tribute to a popular resort spot of yesterdays.
