Grand Bay Drive-In

I’d be interested to know how the boat traffic was going to reach the drive-in. The drive-in is a good half-mile from the shoreline. There is a creek that runs from the lake near the drive-in, but it is quite small and doesn’t appear deep or wide enough to handle even small boats.

Perhaps there was a hotel next to the drive-in that was close enough for foot traffic from boaters who didn’t want to detach their trailers and could walk instead?

The Grand Bay Drive-In opened in the early-1950s. What’s unique about the Grand Bay Drive-In is that according to a May 30, 1953 article of the National Post, the Grand Bay Drive-In installed 300 seats to attract small boat traffic.
