In 1964, the old town of Dillon was buried beneath the floodwaters that were to become Lake Dillon. As the lake expanded, so did the interest of the nautically inclined.
John Bailey, who was the mayor of old Dillon, had the first boat on the lake. He ran ran a ski area in the Poconos in Pennsylvania during the winter and managed the Dillon Marina in the summer. His brother, Tink Bailey, worked for him. The marina handled 30-40 boats at docks that were made buoyant by oil barrels. More boats were on moorings accessible by water taxi.
