Joe Middleton came to Blue Cypress Lake some 48+ years
ago, along with his family to hunt gators and catfish! The
road coming into the fish camp area was practically
non-existent. If it rained, you could count on getting
stuck!! Our former sheriff, who is a very close friend, was
at that time a Game Warden. He can tell you that he tried to
catch Joe poaching gators or illegally fishing for many
years, but could never accomplish the task. When Joe came
here, there were 4 buildings in our Village. Now there is a
wonderful community here. Joe built a good business here and
still, at age 76, works every day.
17 years ago, Joe and I were married.. The first time he
took me out on the lake, I would not have been surprised if
an Indian had poled out of the cypress trees in a canoe. The
pristine beauty of the lake is breathtaking. No gas
stations, fast food places or honking horns around here.
Joe's favorite saying is that when you come here, we will
treat you nice in so many ways, that you will without a
doubt return.
