Helta Count y— 



Escanaba. This is one of the pleasantest summer resorts in the west. It is 

 situated at the head of Little Bay Des Noques, at the north end of Green Bay. 

 The water of the baj', clear as crystal, washes the streets of the city on two sides, 

 while the Escanaba River forms the third, and the aromatic " piney woods " close 

 well down oi. 'he other side. Good hotels offer quiet and comfortable quarters 

 for tourists who may wish to spend days or weeks here fishing, boating or bath- 

 ing. White Fish Bay in this vicinity offers rare sport for fishermen, and every little 

 stream (^and they are numerous) is almost alive with brook trout. From Escahaba 

 excursions are fitted out in various directions. Those not caring for fishing, can 

 find bear and deer in abundance, with ducks, geese, brants, partridges and 

 smaller feathered game. This is now a favorite summer resort for the people of 

 Chicago. The hotel accommodations are unsurpassed. 



The country beyond Escanaba contains many fine brook trout streams, and 

 deer, bear and other game, and fur-bearing animals. The sportsman, fisherman 

 or trapper, will find ample employment and sport here. There is a good winter 

 hunting spot, eight to ten miles north of Day's River, and on Red Division 

 (twelve miles north of Escanaba) on the Smith River. On Bay de Noquet, the 

 deer congregate in a section of heavy timber, and winter there. Splendid hunt- 

 ing may be had in the months of October, November and December. Guides 

 may be had at about two dollars per day. Guides make their headquarters here, 

 and this, without doubt, is the best point to fit out with everything necessary for 

 the trip, with exception of arms and accoutrements. The deer commence cross- 

 ing at Little Lake, about August 5th ; Helena Switch, about August 8th to loth ; 

 McFarland's Hill (half-way between Helena and Centreville), loth to 12th ; Cen- 

 tre ville, about 15th to iSth, and so on. Escanaba is reached via the Chicago and 

 Northwestern Railroad.
