My grandparents used to have a place in lake wallenpaulpack, we went up every weekend even sometimes a week at a time and we were always at the lake in the summer on boats. Also used to love snowmobiling there in the winter.

Another interesting fact about that lake, do not know if it is actually true, but one of the lakes up there, Springers lake, actually has a town under the lake. It was formed over houses that were apparently left there. We used to go swim and boat there, plus we used to go behind promise land high school to swim. And springers lake, at one time in the winter used to hold snowmobile races on the ice.

You said "Another interesting fact about that lake, do not know if it is actually true". So? If it's a Fact then it must be True - right?
