General Information:

Olson's was a full-featured resort that goes back to the 1930's. It was situated between Spider Lake and Indian Lake in "Devil's Elbow". The amenities were fishing, boat rentals, cottages, shuffleboard, a restaurant, beach, even surfing. I think the place was a favorite for fishermen. I am not seeing a trace of it today. The newspaper archive mentions end in the 1960's. The address I am using a guess based on the description of where it was.
