The first vacation I ever remember going on was at White Lake. I was about 4 years old in 1975. I remember floating in a raft beside one of those piers.

[@TimothyFrench]

It’s a great lake for a kids first memories 👍

[@JaniceFreeman-wi9ye]

I remember going as a young girl age 16..and they had a glass bottom boat you could ride...you looked down and could see the fish of the lake... the boat went slowly so you could enjoy this... me and my Dad loved this part of our visit ...

[@TimothyFrench]

What a great memory to have with your dad. I don’t think the lake is as clear as it once was, so it’s awesome you got to see it that way.

[@JaniceFreeman-wi9ye]

I am 69years old and it has been a fond memory for me all these years and yes the water was beautiful and clear...

[@harrydacosta9496]

i remember the amusement park that was there

[@TimothyFrench]

@harrydacosta9496 I wonder if they still use it. It looked like the rides were in good shape.

[@nelsons8626]

Girl your family has had great time, I got a ski boat from 1960,it was in a US ski championship it has dominated stickers

[@kennethstuckey7823]

White Lake, NC, is interesting, I guess you have to physically be there to truly see and appreciate the white lake. Timothy, you passed by a motel that resembled the Bates Motel on the movie Psycho. I hope it's not run by anyone with the name Norman Bates. 😂 I'm shocked that modular home/RV park isn't named "Miles-long White Fence Dwellings" or something like that. I've never been to any place that has miles and miles of a white fence completely enclosing a large area like that (including what appears to have been former entrances into the park from the roadway). I guess that falls under "There's a first time for everything." I enjoyed this walk/ride and talk tour of White Lake, NC, Timothy! GOD bless!

[@TimothyFrench]

🤣 The lake is definitely not as clear as I remembered it.

[@randytingen]

Used to go on family vacation’s every year in early 70s. There was no other place like it. Very commercial now.

[@TimothyFrench]

I agree. A whole lot better back then.

[@kupwav]

When I went as a kid, we'd always stay at Langston's. I saw they retired and closed a few years ago. My dad used to tell me that the lake was formed from a meteor. To a small kid, it was fascinating thinking that space created that lake (I know different now, lol).

[@TimothyFrench]

Nothing better than a kids imagination

[@terrybane6206]

I went to White Lake as a kid too and always had a great time. Thanks for the tour.

[@TimothyFrench]

You’re welcome, Terry. It’s a great place for kids.

[@Michaela243]

Thank you for another great video! White Lake is a magical place that everyone should go to. Back in the mid and late 70s I was a teenage. My parents had a travel trailer and two of my friends each of their parents had ski boats. We'd take the travel trailer and ski boats to White Lake and spend a week at the time. Back then the rule was you couldn't start skiing until the lights went off on the water tower. We were usually the first one skiing as soon the lights went off. Thank you for bringing back many fond memories of being at White Lake! Your cousin in eastern NC, Mike

[@TimothyFrench]

You’re welcome, Mike. The 70s were a great time for White Lake and imagine the water was like glass early in the morning.

[@bobby-ov9qn]

As a relatively new scriber, I have a lot of catching up to do. This was another wonderful video on White Lake. I'm just a couple of hours away, so you never know, I just might give it a try. Thank you Sir.

[@TimothyFrench]

You’re welcome. And thanks for subscribing 👍

[@sarasmith19]

Love it so much !

[@williamdejeffrio9701]

I've heard about White Lake all my life but have never seen it. This video provided an excellent tour...thanks!

[@TimothyFrench]

You’re welcome.👍

[@tobyjohn-kq8hr]

You need to go it's nice

[@EdwardCoates-zk2ug]

Hi Tim,I visited White Lake at Goldstones Pier and sat in the water in aluminium garden chairs many times a great place you say Warm water too!!!!

[@TimothyFrench]

It’s definitely a great place to kick back in some garden chairs. 😎

[@hog7203]

Back in the early 70's , we'd go there occasionally with my parents and other family members. And later in the 70's when I became a young teenager, our Sunday School class would go there once a year. It was a tradition we always looked forward to. It was a nice break for most of us, because we all worked in tobacco during the week. I remember there being lots of huge blueberry fields and peach orchards in the area. We'd stop otw and get some fresh peaches at a roadside stand and eat them when we got to the lake. It was a wonderful place back then, and left me with lots of great memories.

[@TimothyFrench]

Thanks for sharing your memories with us. Now I’m craving a fresh peach 🍑 😀

[@hog7203]

@@TimothyFrench 😆 hopefully you should be able to find some tasty ones on your N.C. road trip. Pretty cool journey you're on BTW. Hope it's a safe and enjoyable one.

[@davidhibbs6989]

It was nice to see this again! I was here august 1970 at 9 years old. That lake was much more clear back then. Looks like a tourist trap today. $10 bucks just to park in the summer. Wow. No charge back then. Everything changes I guess!🎉

[@TimothyFrench]

I thought the same thing. The lake was crystal clear in the 60’s More run off from human activity probably reaches the lake since there is less vegetation to filter it out.

[@missionaries7575]

Sad for those broke and need free outdoor entertainment

[@Love-scripture]

After 1970 never been the same I never went back.🕊️🕯️

[@ShesHereForTheMusic]

I have never visited White Lake but I’m sure I’ve driven through it at some point in my forty three years. My cousin had a house there and talked about it frequently.

[@TimothyFrench]

It’s a great place for small kids. The water is not as clear as it once was. But it’s still nice.

[@EdwardCoates-zk2ug]

Yes Tim,You call them yard chairs I lived in Dunn NC next to Interstate 95 but also liked the Beaches of Surf City and Jude Beach too. I live about 25 miles south of London in UK 4 miles from Gatwick Airport where US Airways and American flew from to Raleigh Durham

[@TimothyFrench]

Thanks for the clarification. 👍

[@saddleweary2777]

I hope you are just starting the N.C. tours, I just found you, well I guess you weren't lost 😄, but this video just came on my recommendation.

[@TimothyFrench]

I have been at it for a few years. If you are interested in a town and want to see if I have been there, just type the name of the town and my name, Timothy French, into a KZbin search box, and my videos will be at the top of the search results if I have. I’m glad you found my channel, and thanks for watching.

[@Juler4life02]

[@TimothyFrench]

That’s awesome, I hope you have a great time. 👍

[@EdwardCoates-zk2ug]

Not Jude should read Kure Beach south of Carolina Beach NC

[@sandasquad3622]

How u not go to Benson NC that's the real center of nc

[@TimothyFrench]

I have been to Benson, NC. Here is the link for the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2aqkKupq6mghqssi=gnfO8iO7jmCuBkoI Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@davidcarpenter9231]

That lake was not man made

[@TimothyFrench]

That’s correct. It is fed by a subterranean springs 👍

[@missionaries7575]

Dock needs railing

[@TimothyFrench]

Luckily the water is not very deep. It was only 2 feet where I was standing

[@hog7203]

​@@TimothyFrench the whole lake is very shallow. Too shallow for diving off the pier in most places. I think years ago, they use to dig out an area at one of the piers so you could dive in without breaking your neck 😆 And if I'm not mistaken, some of the piers had covered areas at the end of the piers back in the 70's. Could be wrong, cause my memory ain't that sharp anymore.

[@TimothyFrench]

The lake just about dried up at one time from what I heard. And it seemed to be clearer when I went there in the 60’s.
