Abstract:
Black Lake, a 1,400-acre lake in Bladen County, was for years uninviting, unsought, and unwanted. Renamed Bay Tree Lake, the body of water is now the center of a planned 15,000-acre year-round resort. The resort is designed for families who want a second home, or for those who want their primary home in a year-round resort atmosphere.

Abstract:
White Lake, a Bladen County lake, is a place of beauty. In the old days only two houses were at the lake--the Love's and the Melvine's, and people would come in buggies for picnics and house parties. Now, Iden says, with improved roads, automobiles, and modern conveniences, crowds have ruined much of its placid, peaceful atmosphere. Still it is a place of enjoyment to tourists.
