Goshorn Lake Remembered

Goshorn Lake is a small inland lake separated by high sand dunes from the Michigan shore of Lake Michigan. Once a meeting place for the Pottawatomi Indians it was discovered by vacation cottagers about 1910. Because its shores are hemmed in by high sand dunes from about 1867 to 1909 there was a floating bridge that connected settlers at the nearby community of Saugatuck with the immigrant town of Holland to the north. In this well illustrated book members of the Goshorn family, and others familiar with its shores tell the story of the lake as then knew it.
