This one of the best years! The park was always crowded. This is one of the years i ran the rides.

Spent a lot of time in there in the 80s. Glad to see that Johnny Morris is cleaning the place up. I know will never be what it was back in the heyday. The majority of the buildings were Beyond repair. Drove by there couple weeks ago-he is definitely put a lot of time for restoring the parks beauty.

Enjoyed my time there in the early 70's. It was a great place to visit. It was sad to see it close and rot away. Different times now I guess.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. This could have been taken by my parents during some of our visits there. The little girl at 2:40 is with the goat ... do what? oh, pet this end? OK, Mama! - I also remember that when you'd feed the trout, they'd pile on top of each other almost a foot out of the water (it seemed then) to get the food pellets. Thank you again!

We are producing a documentary on Dogpatch USA in September. Your old film of the park would be an invaluable piece to add to this project. I would greatly appreciate your permission to use this footage in our documentary with full credit to you or the original person who shot the footage. We hope to make the most comprehensive film we can and those who are contributing footage like this are making that possible!

Sure you can use the footage. Please credit Tommy and Sherry Nichols (my parents). The only thing I ask is that you give me a complimentary copy of the documentary. Please email me at dnich35@yahoo.com when it is available. Thanks.

I live 6 miles from dogpatch. I went in the 70 s and later 69s. Even had summer season pass. This music is awful. I had a heck of a day at dogpatch USA. . Yeah Johnnie Morris is improving it. But it's been on hold over 2 years now. . Very slow progress. .

It’s been on hold because of the dogwood canyon debacle. It’s a concert venue they put near table rock lake on hwy 86 which is a narrow curvey 2 lane then they brought in Garth Brooks I think was. People setting out on hwy for hours stuck traffic never got to the show. Might have been some litigation.
