By water, Popko's Resort, then Casey & Lu's and before they finally condoed it off, Tutt's, was located northwest of Fisherman's Landing at the spot where the flowage narrows down to the area that leads to Merkle Lake. We used to call this spot "propeller alley". We would watch the unsuspecting fisherman go motoring through and just wait for him to 'find a rock'. I admit to having sheared a few pins and broken a couple of props, because in my bullet proof armor of youth...I knew where all the rocks were! Yeah right.
By road, take Popko's Circle East Road. About a mile +- past Fisherman's Landing the road, now Popko's Circle West Road, will curve to the right. There will an entrance that cuts back to the left, this is the road that leads to the old resort. Sorry this is so sketchy, but I haven't driven back there since Casey Sliwicki died. Also, to my knowledge, the resort never burned, but I could be wrong there.
If you need anything else, let me know. It was a great place and a spot I viewed as "magic". I began staying there with my folks when I was 3 years old...that will be 60 years ago this summer. Shees!

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.
