This point formerly extended into Lake Chetek for a greater distance than it does today. The raising of the lake by the construction of the dam (by the Knapp, Stout and Co.) at the outlet has submerged and caused the erosion of a considerable portion of it. On the extremity of this point were formerly located three conical (burial) mounds. A. T. Newman, of Bloomer, remembers seeing these mound in the year 1889. At this time one was being slowly destroyed by the gradual erosion of the lake bank. Two others were then still in good condition. These mounds were25 to 30 feet in diameter and 3 to 4 feet high. The point is now occupied by a summer resort cottage, known as the "Red Lodge Resort" and several other cottages. William Carey states that in the late eighties the Chippewa Indians camped on Leinenkugel Point. At this time two hundred or more bark-covered wigwams were to be seen here. On the occasion of some special ceremony, or council, when Indians came from other localities to be present, he has seen from 500-600 Indians on the lake in birch bark Canoes. On the point and from the adjoining cultivated fields many stone implements have been collected. W. H. Smith, who formerly resided here, had a considerable collection of these. Mr. Newman also has a number of chert spear points and potsherds obtained here. According to information given to J. A. H. Johnson by Daniel Beagle, one of the earliest settlers on the site of Chetek, an Indian trading post was, in the years 1830-40, located on this point not far from the site of the present club house. The trader was one Louis Montra, of whom nothing further is known. The trader's log cabin was still standing in 1865. This is the location of Red Lodge Resort. Twelve cottages have been built here, all modern conveniences but with big pine trees and back woods atmosphere.
