Photo showing Skoglund Hotsprings off of Highway 25. Photo was a 'Cruise Supplement.' Note: See our Biography Files: Ray Skoglund. In 1958, Ray bought the land that held the hot springs at Lakelse Lake and with his usual vision and determination he began to make things happen. Some of the best memories of Ray and for the Skoglund family come from that era. They all took part in the running and developing of the hotsprings into the family business it so obviously was. All of the kids had their first jobs
there and they all remember making burgers.
