FISH LAKE: THE LURE OF A HISTORIc LODGE

Fish Lake Lodge is situated on Fish Lake, a natural lake six miles long and one mile wide, in the heavily forested Fishlake Mountains. Photograph courtesy of Lydia Jakovac / Fishlake National Forest.

There are few places in Utah that evoke as much response as when you say Fish Lake Lodge. You can see the memories on people’s faces of days on the lake, nights under the stars, tall tales in the cabins, and dinner or dancing in the lodge. And what about those fish stories relayed to friends and family?

Fish Lake and the historic lodge have an incredible history starting during the first half of the nineteenth century when it was a well used rest stop on the Old Spanish Trail. The area was frequently traveled by Piute Indians as well as early explorers and trappers who appreci-ated the bountiful fish, wildlife and the summer climate. In 1863, Brigham Young authorized a party to explore the area and obtain the Indian’s good will by trading items. A peace treaty was signed in 1873 and was never broken. Another treaty was signed in 1889 be-tween the Fremont Irrigation company and the Piute Indians for water rights to Fish Lake. Their agreement, signed on animal hide, was for the irrigation rights to the Fish Lake outlet forever, and in return the Piute Indians received nine fine horses, 500 pounds of flour, one

good beef steer, and one suit of clothes.In 1899, President McKinley created

the Forest Reserve which included Fish Lake. The declaration and assignment of a ranger provided a balance of the needs of ranching, logging, and recreation. In addition, a game warden was appointed to ensure that the fish in the lake were be-ing protected according to the new game laws. This new warden was charles Skougaard, and upon seeing Fish Lake’s natural resources, said “Someday people are going to travel a long way to rest and fish up here.”

By 1911, Skougaard had taken his life savings to begin an independent fish-ing camp. He started by erecting twelve canvas-sided tents with board floors. He later brought twelve boats from the val-ley by wagon and Fish Lake Resort was born.

Skougaard’s first hotel on the site was constructed in 1912, boasting eight rooms and a dining room table with seating for sixteen. Outside, there was an open air dance pavilion and a small store that sold

fishing tackle. As popularity increased, Skougaard improved the resort with hydro-electricity fed by the power plant at Twin creeks and introduced the Mackinaw game fish, for which Fish Lake would later become famous.

There’s a Wallace Stegner quote that reads, “It should not be denied... that being footloose has always exhilarated us. It is associated in our minds with escape from history and op-pression and law and irksome obligations, with absolute freedom, and the road has always led West.”

Now is your chance to capture that footloose feeling and connect with Utah’s history!

The first of two ways is to travel through the towns of central and Southern Utah by reading this newsletter whereby you’ll read about important historic places that have been built throughout the state and how they are now being saved by local activists and residents with the help of Utah Heritage Foundation. Field Representative, Susan crook, has been criss-crossing the region over the last six months to build new preservation partnerships and develop new ideas for preservation. With much time behind the wheel and on the pavement of Utah’s many Main Streets, the fruits of these labors are now taking shape. Some ideas, like Main Street, have been around a long time and can still be found, in places like Panguitch, functioning like well-oiled machines, even without state funding and state coordination. Dedicated communities keep these programs running locally because they’ve found it makes sense to build economic capacity as well as adding to the town’s unique characteristics.

The second way to get that footloose feeling of exhilaration is to sign up for the 2010 Members Trip and travel these western roads of history to Wayne county. More infor-mation for this year’s event can be found on page 13. It’s an outstanding opportunity to see the amazing natural and historic resources firsthand at Fish Lake, Torrey, and capitol Reef National Park. You won’t want to leave your camera at home! Susan will share her experiences with you and we hope to hear your input about the potential for preservation in Wayne county.

come see for yourself on August 14th and you won’t be disappointed. And you never know what surprises we’ll have in store along the way.

Fish Lake Lodge is just one of the many historic treasures that you will see on the 2010 Members Trip to Wayne county. Photograph courtesy of Lydia Jakovac / Fishlake National Forest.

Fillmore has Capital Aspirations

Fillmore is a small town with big blocks, wide streets and really smart people who want to keep it that way. The city was laid out similar to down-town Salt Lake city’s Plat of Zion, with 10-acre blocks and streets that are 132-feet wide. After all, Fillmore was Utah’s first capital. And just so you don’t forget that grand plan, the grid layout and street width are noted in the city’s new general plan update, and protected throughout the city with a zoning ordinance, thanks in no small part to Lisa crosland. Deputy Recorder/ Zoning Admin-istrator/ Historic Preservation Planner extraordinaire Lisa crosland began working for the city of Fillmore in 2001 after seven years as Deputy county clerk for Millard county and a little time off for child-rearing. commenting on the move to protect the town layout, I asked, “Lisa, how did you get so smart in Fillmore?” She said, “We just got lucky and have great consultants.” In 2008 Lisa helped reinstate the Historic Preservation commission so Fillmore could become a certified Local Government (cLG). Two years and two cLG grants later, they’ve hired a con-sultant to nominate the unique 1926 log

The main office of the Spinning Wheel Motel is one of Fillmore’s oldest homes. Located at 65 South Main Street, it is in the heart of Fillmore’s historic Downtown.

American Legion Hall to the National Register of Historic Places, worked with Utah State Park Service to stabilize the foundation of Fort Deseret in the west desert, and are preparing a self-guided walking tour brochure of Fillmore’s historic downtown. Lisa notes, “For a small community

we have great, qualified peopled on our historic preservation commission.” I’ll second that, and add, also great staff. The preservation movement continues to thrive in Millard county thanks to the citizens and their strong leadership.

The Territorial Statehouse Museum shares the block with the Fillmore city Offices, Millard county courthouse, and National Guard Armory.

Stories from the Field, By Susan crook, Field Representative

Panguitch – A Main Street “Pardner” Community

Effervescent, no, just plain bubbly, is how I’d describe cheryl church, proprietor of the Blue Pine Motel and director of the Panguitch Main Street committee. Panguitch became a Main Street Partner in 1997 when Utah’s Main Street Program was on the rise. They must not have gotten the memo about the demise of the state’s Main Street Program in 2006, being so far out in the hinterlands and all, because this Main Street Partner, or should I say, “Pardner,” is going strong. Western themed shops and eateries, and mom & pop motels abound, well maybe not actually abound. Pan-guitch might be a little too small for an abundance of buildings, but there is boundless enthusiasm and optimism. The businesses in the well-kept historic

buildings along Main and center Streets look both prosperous and inviting. The clerks are as perky as the facades, cheerful, full of information about the other busi-nesses and commu-nity events. The town’s signa-ture event, The Quilt Walk Festival, was started by the Main Street committee and now happens annually. This event has been so success-ful it had to be spun off with a separate organization to over-see it. Don’t miss this year’s Quilt Walk Fes-

tival on June 10-12. The Balloon Festival, June 25-27, is the biggest event still run by the Main Street committee, followed by the Big Fish Fiddler Festival in July. (Pan-guitch means “big fish” in Native Ameri-can parlance.) Taste of Panguitch is held on the Friday night of the Fiddler Festival as a fundraiser with donations going to the Main Street committee. The committee also hosts a fundraiser lunch during the Desperado Dual Bike Tour, August 6-7. With all these activities throughout the summer, you can just forget those big national parks and come set a spell in lil’ ol’ Panguitch. On this section of Panguitch’s historic Main Street you can find funky Western themed

shops and eateries.

A namesake “big fish” weather vane tops the courthouse in Panguitch, the Garfield county seat.

Live it Up! in Downtown Cedar

If you want to go to a happenin’ place, you can Live it Up Downtown! in Festival city USA. The cedar city Downtown Retail Alliance is rolling out the red carpet, or at least working on a plan to keep the sidewalks hoppin’ in cedar city’s Downtown Historic District. These business people mean business. A mere glimmer of an idea in Janu-ary, cedar city organized and held the first Downtown Retail Alliance meet-ing in February with 25 merchants and

supporters in attendance. On April 10th they held their first event, an overwhelm-ingly successful Spring cleanup of the historic downtown storefronts and side-walks. A cadre of business owners and volunteers, including the SUU football team, washed windows, painted curbs, and spruced up the historic shopping district. By the end of the day, they also had the “Live it Up Downtown” motto on the marquee of the now vacant cedar Theatre. In May, the Retail Alliance paused to catch their breath and hold a meeting to vote in a president and committee chairs and take care of other minor details like asking for volunteers to help begin the process of filing for non-profit status.

Oh, yes and someone, preferably with an accounting background, to volunteer as treasurer and start working on setting and collecting dues. With all the official business out of the way, they also saw the opportunity to plan another clean-up day for June. All I can say is, “Wow!” If this is how these merchants go about volunteer work, I want to invest in their businesses. This cedar city historic district has a – ka-ching – bright future.

Ann Sa lv iazul , Blue Sage Gallery, and Mark Baruffi, Grind coffeehouse, are leading members of the cedar city Downtown Retail Al-liance and are out to show their support for historic preservation.

Southern Utah University football players paint the town – or at least the curb – red dur-ing the Downtown Spring cleanup.

Visual Acoustics Director Eric Bricker, Peter Goss, Jim christopher, and Scot Zimmerman answer questions from the audience.

UHF’s 2010 Preservation conference commenced with the Utah premiere of Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman. With a crowd of over 300 attendees, we witnessed Shulman’s charming personality and passion for his work. This spunky architec-tural photographer captured the interest of all who watched this biography, as well as anyone who has ever seen one of his amazing photographs. The film’s director, Eric Bricker, was also in attendance and was excited for the opportunity to answer questions from the audience about his experiences while filming and knowing this influential man. Bricker along with University of Utah professor and photographer Peter Goss, local architect James christopher, and lo-cal photographer Scot Zimmerman, told onlookers about the great influence that Shulman had over both architects and photographers. If you happened to have missed this showing, Visual Acoustics is now available on DVD for purchase at http://www.juliusshulmanfilm.com/store/.

Other conference activities took place at the Salt Lake Masonic Temple includ-ing a brainstorming breakfast, education sessions, and Heritage Awards. New

this year, our brainstorming breakfast offered a chance to share ideas between regions and communities and share ideas for success in preservation. Edu-cation sessions covered everything from hands-on preservation, to neighborhood advocacy, to taking good archi-tectural photographs. There is truly something for every level of preservationist.

Our Heritage Awards Lun-cheon gives us the opportunity to recognize excellent projects and individuals throughout the state that are helping UHF to save the historic built environ-ment. We were privileged to have Dr. Martha Bradley, Dean of the University of Utah Honors college, emcee the awards program and are

grateful for the expertise and insight she contributes to our organization. (Heritage Award winners featured on page 3.)

Preservation conference cul-minated with our annual Historic Homes Tour. 2010 took us to the Federal Heights neighborhood and through an eclectic collection of historic homes. One home was built in the Victorian style, but was later transformed to have prairie style features. We also fea-tured the first home in Salt Lake

to have air conditioning. Utah Heritage Foundation would like to thank the own-ers who opened their homes and the over 300 volunteers who made this tour and our conference possible.

FISH LAKE: THE LURE OF A HISTORIc LODGE

8

(continued from front cover)

Having studied electrical engineering in Wisconsin before returning home to work in the family business, charles Skougaard was adept with engineering and building techniques. So when it came to construction, he dreamed of building a grand lodge, similar to those you find at the larger parks like the Grand canyon and Bryce canyon.

Skougaard served as designer and contractor for the present day lodge that was constructed between 1928 - 1931. constructed mostly from pine and aspen trees that surrounded the lake, the building was about a city block long when completed. central to the building was a grand lobby with two large stone fireplaces, whose con-struction was of local stone. With the size and span of the building, it’s difficult to imagine that only manpow-er and genuine horse-power were used in erecting and placing the beams, pillars and trusses. The lodge itself opened in 1929 but was not completed until 1931. The ballroom became a popular site for dances during the lodge’s heyday (roughly between 1930 and 1960).

The resort itself was so popular that there was, at one time, enough boats for 100 families to be out at the same time docked at the marina.

As the Forest Service began chang-ing national policies, several events took place that would change the character of Fish Lake. Start-ing in the 1930s, the agency began disal-lowing commercial and private cabins on the lakefront. This was a decided move by the Forest Service to balance public and private benefits along the lakeshore in order to reduce pollutive impacts by water-front activities, as

well as minimize scenic viewshed issues. The Forest Service negotiated terms with property owners to move to new lots in the mountains, resulting in the removal of the original cabins which had a tremendous impact on the overall resort. The impact was a change in the aesthetic as well as the feeling of community at Fish Lake.

There have only been three major own-ers for the resort: the Skougaard family until 1963; Derk and Jinny Strickwerda (1963-unknown); and Fish Lake Resort Associates (1983-present). Several minor owners were in possession of the property between the Strickwerdas and the current owner.

Today, Fish Lake remains a traditional destination for families from across the region. Nearly 100 years later, its history, natural setting, and consistent ability to deliver big fish continue to be a lure. The ballroom still serves as a gathering place for up to 1,000 people for LDS Sunday church services and scout groups. The Forest Service and Fish Lake Resort As-sociates are currently considering designa-tion on the National Register of Historic Places for the lodge, an honorary designa-tion that could bring great recognition as well as the future ability to gain tax credits for rehabilitation of the lodge.

We hope to bait our members to join the UHF Board of Trustees to see the historic lodge and cabins on the Members Trip to Wayne county on August 13-15. come and share your fish stories!

Exposed structural features adorn the ballroom’s ceiling. In its hey-day, the ballroom was a popluar place to host dances and gatherings.

These photos show the differ-ent types of cab-ins that surround Fish Lake. They provide easy ac-cess to lake activi-ties and a more comfortable place for visitors to stay.
