It's so wonderful for me to see these posts on Maplecrest Beach.  I loved Maplecrest Beach...We went there every weekend driving from New York in our Studebaker and then in our 54 Orange & black Mercury....We had to go over the George Washington Bridge and we would play games all the way there....Games that kids today wouldn't even think were fun....Like picking out a car, and when one drove by us, the first one to scream out the name, got a point!  Or...the singing....like "A hundred bottles of beer on the wall"...hahahaha....The Whitehouses were so nice to us, and their son used to take my brother and I out in his rowboat into the backwoods...I still remember the snakes...hahaha....I was there the day that the kid drowned...he was caught under the float and I guess we figured he lost his breath...it was one of the saddest days that I remember...I had never experienced anyone dying & I remember crying for him. We used to pack our lunches and head out for a day in the sun playing & swimming.  Some of my fondest memories were there...I do have pictures somewhere and when I find them, I will certainly post a few....but, I have to admit, your pictures posted are wonderful and bring back so many memories....I'm so glad that I finally found out where Maplecrest Beach was....I thought it was Hackensack & now I know...Thanks
