NEW SUMMER RESORT
Peru Sentinel.
When that portion of the population of Peru, generally designated as the “common herd,”
begins to cast about for a cheap and readily available place to spend the hot summer months, there
appears to be but one outlet for the gratification of their passion for fresh air and wholesome
recreation; but one spot upon which they can settle near enough to Peru to keep an eye on their
business and at the same time row, fish and rusticate. That haven of promise and plenty is Mud
lake, just across the line in Fulton county, and about sixteen miles from Peru. It is the only body of
water close enough to the county seat to make a summer outing for Peru people, with limited
means at all practicable. While little or nothing has thus far been done toward adding to the
beauties and conveniences of the place, much is contemplated, and the possibilities are many.
Mud lake, or lakes, as there are two of them, were slandered when christened. There is
nothing in their appearance or surroundings to suggest the name under which they are known.
They are evidently fed by springs, and the water is always clear, never becoming stagnant. Those
persons who have never visited them have fallen into the error of placing a too liberal
interprestation upon the name, and allowing themselves to be haunted with visions of mud,
rattlesnakes and miasma. There is everything in a name and this pair of twin lakes has certainly
suffered through the carelessness or thoughtlesness of someone utterly bereft of aesthetic taste.

NORTH MUD LAKE NOW RENAMED “LAKE NYONA”
Macy, Indiana, August 25. -- Extensive plans are being made to make North Mud Lake a
more popular summer resort. John Shaffer, the proprietor at the west side, has had the name
changed to Lake Nyona, and a dancing pavilion will be erected on the west side, just south of the
road in the near future.
There is almost a constant stream of travelers between State Road No. 1 [US-31] and the
lake and as the road is extremely narrow, is very dangerous and part of the road is only wide
enough for one machine. The lake and lake road are in Fulton county. There are many cottages
there and people from Chicago, Indianapolis, Kokomo, Peru and many other cities patronize this
summer resort.
