GAME AND FISH RESORTS. 14! 



ClintO't County— 



Lock Haven, amonp; the Alleghenies, is a summer resort much frequented for 

 its scenery and the fine fishing and shooting found in tlie neighborhood. In all 

 the streams to the northwest trout are plenty. Reached via the Philadelphia and 

 Erie Railroad. Good summer hotels. 



Hyner and Renovo, on the Philadelphia and Erie Division of the Pennsylvania 

 Railroad, are in the midst of the great pine forest regions of Northern Pennsyl- 

 vania. The woods all about abound in game, the streams in brool< trout and 

 other varieties. The Susquehanna alone has thirty-one varieties. Near Hyner 

 is Young Woman's Town, which has the wildest, crookedest stream of the same 

 name. Kettle Creek is another very beautiful and romantic stream. The Short 

 Bend on this stream is a lovely spot, not far from where the Susquehanna turns 

 around the corner of a mountain. If you follow any one of these streams into the 

 forest you will have ample use for both rod and gun. You can return to Renovo 

 l3y a little branch of Kettle Creek, or, you may follow the winding of this favorite 

 stream up past Beaver's Dam, Spicewood River, Trout Fork, a'nd Ox Bow Bend, 

 to Cross Fork P. O., and return by Paddy's Run through Tamarach Swamp in 

 almost a direct line to Renovo. The whole surface in this vicinity is deeply 

 seamed with narrow valleys and ravines spreading in every direction, and mark- 

 ing out the innumerable water-courses. Steep walls of massive rock rise up to 

 lofty heights, supporting the broad table-land, which is crowned with mountains 

 of dense forests, and stretches far out toward the sea into five points, called the 

 Finger Mountains, of which Mahoopany, Tonawanda, and Blossburg are the 

 most important.

 are good hotels and other accommodations here.
