Here are my photos from my visit to Waupaca on Sunday May 24, 2015. I first stopped at Shadow Lake to visit the beach that I used to swim at with my family back in the 1960s and then drove over to see the courthouse. Shadow Lake is pretty much as I remember it; though it has obviously been improved since I was a kid. The lake is pretty much my only memory of Waupaca from my childhood, it’s located right off of Highway 10, so we never drove through the city or stopped anywhere else in the area.

- The lake seems smaller than I remember

- Looking toward the “big kids” diving raft
-
- The beach shelter house. They used to sell popsicles and other snacks here. Perhaps they still do.

- The new shelter house. I think it is only a few years old.
