WINANS LAKE<br />

Winans <strong>Lake</strong> is located east <strong>of</strong><br />

M. 3fi just past <strong>Lake</strong>land and was<br />

the home <strong>of</strong> the late Governor Edwin<br />

Wvians. It was sold by his son,<br />

George, to Detroit real estate men<br />

who formed Pleasant <strong>Lake</strong> Golf and<br />

Country Club. It has one <strong>of</strong> the best<br />

courses in the state and a fine modem<br />

club house. It enjoys a very<br />

fine membership and patronage<br />

BASE LAKE<br />

This lake derives its name rrom<br />

the fact that it is located on the<br />

haruware man. John Roberts and<br />

were, nearly all from Dexter<br />

and Ann Arbor and built on land}<br />

rented from Dunlavey and Sill. After<br />

1920 Detroit people began to]<br />

come out and have now replaced'<br />

most <strong>of</strong> the Dexter and Ann Arbor j<br />

resorters. The Sill and Dunlavey<br />

families have long since sold their<br />

land and many real estate dealers;<br />

have plats here.<br />
