Location: Upper Saranac Lake, on Fish Creek Bay, at the top of the Narrows
Other names:
Year built: c. 1920
Other information:
Camp Aiyupka was built by Philadelphia lawyer and banker George H. Earle, Jr. on 700 acres south of Fish Creek Bay and west of the Narrows.
Earle also built stone boathouses on Upper St. Regis Lake and Spitfire Lake; this, though, is the only one built of granite, that may have come from the property.
According to Sally Svenson, the boathouse had a second floor ballroom that "was the focal point of many stories of extravagant indulgence." 1
