a-03.jpg (174992 bytes)  We where born and raised in Germany, but did not like the
 cold weather too much, so in 1978 we took a trip to Florida.
 Needless to say we loved it and returned one year later with
 the plan to stay and start a new life in the 'Sunshine State'.

 our own plumbing business in 1985. Everything went well,
 the business was and still is successful. Our now grownup
 son, has the benefits of it, and runs South Dade Plumbing.

a-07.jpg (54502 bytes)  In 2000 we started our new lifestyle by buying our RV and
 traveling through the many beautiful states of this country.
 During this time we fell in love with the idea of owning an
 RV resort one day and ended up buying the Riverside Lodge

 working together on the idea of turning this prior fish camp
 that's at a most beautiful location, into an RV Resort where
 people can return to nature, and  get away from the big city.

History of the Aloha Lodge / Riverside Lodge 

pa-04.jpg (135091 bytes)  Today's 'Riverside Lodge' started out as the 'Aloha Lodge'
 fish camp in the 60's. Then in the 80's new owners change
 the name, build the large Clubhouse and Recreation Hall,
 the asphalt roads and more, Fishing was great and still is.

pa-17.jpg (279265 bytes)  We found these old and long forgotten pictures of the past
 by reorganizing the office, and like to share them with y
ou.
 Things looked a little different back then, but the idea still
 remained the same, simply relax have fun and catch a fish.

pa-24.jpg (164402 bytes)  Folks from many northern states enjoyed Florida's warmer
 weather and the relaxing atmosphere by the Withlacoochee
 river. And just like today they had a good time, and some of
 the same 'Snowbirds' are still coming down here every year.
