I stayed at the Riveredge resort about 30 years ago and my whole family loved it. We had pie eating contests, corn roasts, water skiing, boating and fishing --In fact there was a great big fish that used to swim up and down the river that liked to stick its head out of the water and scare everyone out of the river when ever it came. I rowed my canoe out to it and banged it on it's head with my oar. I was hailed as a "hero", but the darn fish almost swamped me and my boat.
I miss the rec. room and the pool and the dinner bell at the main house on the hill. I have two kids of my own now and I would love to have taken them there, but according to this list it is gone :(
Well, we will try the Sunrise Resort this year, and I will always have fond memories of Riveredge.
