If your only going back 15 years .... there use to be a Sea Plane Ride which based at the piers just left of the old Burger King property (looking from Lake side). If you find an older Lake chart you will see that there was a designated water landing strip running North to South from approximately the Margate/ Little Island area down towards Spinnaker. We use to anchor at the Margate sand bar and let the kids watch them take off and land all the time!
If I recall, this summer there was a Sea Plane ride located in roughly the same location (I believe it is either the veterinary or specialty cars store now from land side).
unfortunately I do not have any detailed info.
UPDATE: Just checked on Google earth and I was correct, this summer there was seaplane rides at that same location. The Sign for the rides is on the property border of the Corvette Service shop and Barton's Motel ..... not bad for being here in Mass !
