In 1974 I owned a cottage just above the beach. It was on 
the left up the last road before you get to the small parking 
lot. A friend of mine, who worked on parks for DNR, was 
quite excited when he saw where my property was. It 
seems the small wet area bordered by my cottage road and 
the road to the beach was protected because of a special 
bird living there. I was not interested in birds so never 
asked what species it was but it made the land I briefly 
owned much more valuable. In fact the houses past that 
road very near the beach were built in 1975 and on. 
The beach at that time was hardly ever used . Every 
evening during the week days I would walk my dogs there 
(controlled of course) and meet no one.The partys may 
have come later. 
It would seem a shame to change the beach in any way 
except to find a bit more parking, if it is needed. 
There is a resident on the road who has been there most of 
his married life , that being well over fifty years and he may 
be of some help to you with the history of the beach and 
roads leading to it.  His name is Jack Friis. I think his name 
is on a mail box. 
Hope this will be of some help. Heather Drope
