The next development that took place was by the Crane Company who created Lake Arrowhead with it's unique architectural style. In an effort to control growth and with the consensus to maintain values as a planned community , the borough took ownership around 1938 of the remaining undeveloped residential lots, and then in 1952 the borough bought land surrounding Crystal Lake and Birchwood Lake to again preserve it's pristine community. The Tower Hill Sled Run was originally constructed to give the children a safe place to sled instead of closing roads in the community for safe sledding. The run is around 1500 feet long and moves steadily down the hill which gradually tapers off near the bottom for slowing down so you don't slide out onto Overlook Rd. The trail was at one time actually lit for night time sledding and you can actually still see their remains today.
Children still use the sled run today.
The company ran the railroad to Fox Hills Lakes and Crystal lake was built in 1893 by a stone dam. One of the homes currently built on West Shore trail was the original location for the icehouse and the original foundation for the icehouse stood there until the 1930's. Several years later, Sunset Lake was built with an icehouse along the now North Pocono Road. Birchwood Lake was built last in 1905. Although the natural water flows were not enough, water was eventually moved and filled the lake by a steam driven pump on a flat car.
