with islands and cut up with long arms and bays it is very 

 difficult to find the way through. You are now on the Ka- 

 wishiwi waters and moose, if the season is right, will be seen 

 every day, affording the man with a camera unlimited oppor- 

 tunities to take pictures of them. The trip down the Ka- 

 wishiwi river includes 15 portages, most of which are short, 

 the longest one being 240 rods. 



No trouble will be experienced along the entire route to find 

 suitable camping places. From the Kawishiwi a portage of 

 160 rods takes you into Fall lake, the point started from, 150 

 miles having been covered, making a complete circle, always 

 in new country. The round trip can be made in six days by 

 flying fast and light, providing the canoeist is acquainted with 

 the route, but the tourist should plan on taking 12 to 15 days, 

 and equip himself accordingly. A guide is an absolute neces- 

 sity, and on the ability of the guide to act as "friend, coun- 

 sellor, and guide" the success of the trip depends. 



Fishing tackle should be carried in goodly quantities, as lots 

 of it will be lost or broken in the rocks, but guns are not 

 necessary, as the route is largely within the boundaries of the 

 Superior national forest and the Superior game preserve. 

 Along the boundary it is convenient to camp on the Canadian 

 side occasionally, and the rangers there are under instructions 

 to confiscate all firearms, and several tourists have lost their 

 guns by not observing this law. 



Clear Lake Trip From Ely For Fishermen. 



This is the ideal trip for the man who likes to fish, camp in 

 the open and enjoy nature without undergoing the discom- 

 fiture of the long routes where a great many portages must 

 be made. 



Leaving Ely the route crosses Long lake, follows up the 

 Burntside river for several miles, where a portage of 88 rods 

 leads into Burntside lake, a beautiful body of water ten miles 

 long, with 110 islands to add to its beauty. At the point where 

 the portage strikes the lake a summer resort has been con- 

 structed, where two or three days could be spent before con-
