As someone of only 24 years old, I only went to Boblo once, and I was too young to remember anything aside from the torrential storms on the boat ride home.

This said, I was wondering if anyone had some pictures of the park. Someone has to have at least one.

There's a small exhibit at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle about Boblo with actual stuff from the park, models of the two Boblo boats, visitor maps and photos. There's even a "swan boat" you can sit in. Postcards from the old park can be purchased at the Dossin gift shop as well.

Wow! I had no idea those structures were still standing. I just assumed the resort community had the tower and pavilions torn down!
