GILLIGAN Post Staff DALLAS TWP. - A “Lake for Sale” sign is not something you see every day. A survey of more than 10 local real estate offices revealed no lakes currently for sale.

DeRemer Realty of Dallas does have one lake for sale, and it’s one most of us are familiar with. Shadyside Lake, located in Dallas Township, is on the market.
