Lake White Club (PIKE County) The Lake White Club is one of the areas oldest with timbers dating back to the original log cabin built on the site in the mid-1820's. The cabin officially became the Lake White Club in 1938, serving fried chicken to visitors of the newly formed lake. The restaurant, and its chicken, quickly became so popular that a huge screened in front porch had to be added to the log cabin dinning room. A few years ago, the log cabin was converted into an entrance foyer and lounge. Now the porch is enclosed and they offer a legacy of fine food dating back to over a half-century flavored with a dash of Ohio's history
