Located on the shores of Pike Lake near Amery, Wisconsin, the Shoreview Supper Club is [as of 2013] a recreational facility that has been in existence for approximately a century. It operated under several names as a resort, a church, camp, camp for under-privileged, and returned to a resort in 1971. Probably best known and remembered for service as Bungalow Beach, many tourists and local residents can tell of memorable experiences at the sport in the twenties and early thirties. The original lodge was destroyed by fire in 1962 and lost with it was a great deal of the original history of the resort.
