Additional Information: | "Like many resorts, this one started as a family retreat. The oldest cabin, #4, was built around 1931, shortly after the Flowage reached its present levels. By 1944, Birch Point Lodge was opened under the ownership of Arthur De Mik, who added Cabin #3 and built the original tavern and residence."
