Stillwater Lake - Ice Harvesting
There was a huge ice harvesting operation on this lake in the late 1800s-early 1900s. The Pocono Mountain Ice Company later donated half the land to the Boy Scouts to form Camp Minsi, and the other half was sold to developers for Stillwater Estates. There is a youtube video that shows the operation in 1921.
