"Caroga Times"

Bookmark this site now! You'll want to come back soon!

Due to the many pictures (over 1900) and music accompanying them our pages might load a little slower than normal, especially if you have a slow connection. They will definitely be worth those few extra seconds of waiting. 

 Once you get into this site you'll want to just take your time, relax, and enjoy the sights, sounds, magic, and memories of summers at Caroga Lake.

 So, get a cup of coffee, sit down and turn up your sound. You'll love the  potpourri of our "Caroga Times." Be sure to check out our "Memories of Johnstown" section to!

 Caroga Overview "Take A Peek"

An interesting overview, with pictures and music, of Caroga.  No special order to the pictures, but will give you a quick "sentimental journey" of the "Magic of Caroga." Just a great way to take a peek at what we have to offer in Caroga Times (below). Be sure to turn up your sound!
