History
of the Business
Dogwood Lake started out as a dream, Harold Wester's dream.
In 1984, he bought 40 acres near Lake Malone and started
digging a hole. This hole became Dogwood Lake, a five acre
spring-fed fresh water lake, our central attraction. The
water, crystal clear and fresh, is inspected twice a year
and passes with flying colors. Along the lake, Harold trucked
umpteen loads of clear white sand, a veritable Daytona Beach
in Dunmor's backyard. Next came the campsites, 128, all
with water and electric, 81 of them with sewer, with an
attached field bed big enough for expansion. Next came the
280 foot full-loop waterslide.
