Dement Beach

Remember Dement Beach? Not many have even heard of it.

Dement Beach was a recreational facility located about 10 miles north of Opheim or approximately six miles north of Glentana. I have remembered this recreational facility in the past but it does amaze me that many of the local residents of Opheim and Glentana haven’t heard of it.

I am fortunate to have several original pictures of this resort as well as finding old news items concerning it.

In my young days of living in that area it was a great place for ice skating parties. Speaking of ice skating, that was a big recreation occasion on many a winter Sunday afternoons, not necessarily at the in-town ice skating rinks but on many ponds and reservoirs found on local farms and ranches.
