Leech Lake section, all afford opportunities that are un- 

 equalled anywhere else, and each one differing from the other. 



The summer vacationist, if he isn't primarily interested in 

 canoeing, asks first of all that he be given a place where he 

 can fish. Go where he will he will find that the Minnesota 

 lakes are stocked with pike, pickerel, muskalonge, bass, etc., 

 and that the streams are full of gamy trout. The fact that 

 once a man has fished in northern Minnesota means that he 

 makes it an annual trip, tells the story better than mere words 

 could tell it. 



In the proper seasons game of all kinds can be hunted in 

 northern Minnesota. The big game, moose, deer, bear, and 

 the small game, ducks, geese, grouse, snipe, prairie chicken, 

 can be located easily. But that is another story, to be told 

 at another time of the year. Just now the vacationist is look- 

 ing for the fishing places, the starting points for his canoeing 

 trip, etc. 



In order that he who reads this little magazine may have 

 some sort of an index to the places where he can secure ac- 

 commodations, a list of stopping places, and summer resorts 

 and guides has been compiled by rangers engaged in the state 

 forest service. The list is accurate, though not complete. 

 It can, of course, be only a partial list of the places in the 

 great land of the north, but it will serve its purpose if it 

 proves to be of help to anyone planning a vacation trip in the 

 "real vacation country" of America. 



For the purposes of classification, northern Minnesota has 

 been divided into specified regions, viz.: the Lake Park 

 region, the Vermillion Lake region, the Rainy Lake and Lake 

 of the Woods region, etc. 



The names of the summer resorts, the guides, etc., in the 

 following list are given on the best information and can be 

 relied upon. 



The Lake Park Region. 



This section includes the counties of Douglas, Otter Tail, Hub- 

 bard, etc. By stopping at any station, lakes will be found 

 nearby. Every lake teems with fish. Pike, pickerel, bass, and 

 some muskies are to be found here. In the streams there is 

 trout. There are more beautiful summer resorts in this section 

 than in any other. The following are a few of the places to go:
