A BIT OF HISTORY
Getting To Wah-Tut-Ca During World War II
Crossing Northwood Lake Was The Last Leg Of The Journey
The distance from Lowell to Northwood was the major argument against building Wah-Tut-Ca. In 1937 few families owned cars and there were no highways. Just 5 years after Wah-Tut-Ca opened the problem became critical.
During World War II gas was rationed and no one had extra to drive 60 miles to Northwood. Many BSA camps
faced the same problem and closed for the duration of the war. Scout Executive Hal Kellogg was determined to
keep WTCSR open and developed a way for Scouts to make it to WTCSR.
