Our Legacy

Local stories of the club establish its beginnings all the way back to 1898. The first legal recognition of the club shows that in 1906 Dr. Douglas filed the Articles of Association establishing the Paw Paw Lake Yacht Club. During the early 1900’s there was also another club known as the Paw Paw Lake Motor Boat Club. In 1932, the Paw Paw Lake Motor Boat Club merged with the Paw Paw Lake Yacht Club and amended the articles of incorporation. Finally, in 1949, the Paw Paw Lake Yacht Club established new articles that included as part of its mission not only the promotion of social activities and boating, but also the management of the property for the purposes that still hold true today.
