Living on Manhattan Island
Nov 30, 2017
Island living isn't an option very often in South Dakota, but an article in our Nov/Dec 2017 issue tells of an opportunity to buy lots on historic Manhattan Island on Big Stone Lake.
-
Manhattan Island is one of seven islands found in Big Stone Lake in the far northeastern corner of South Dakota. -
Manhattan Island was inhabited a century ago. In the latter half of the 20th century, it was the location of a summer camp operated by the Sioux Falls YMCA. -
Cabins from the old YMCA are now privately owned. -
A swimming pool, tennis courts, chapel and other amenities from the camp are also well-maintained. -
Randy and Becky Stattelman and some friends bought the island after the camp closed. -
Several dozen people now live there in the summer months and one fellow stays year-around. The population will grow if the Stattelmans are successful in selling lots. Read about the unusual place in our Nov/Dec issue.
