many large bays and beautiful islands. Half way up the lake, 

 at the foot of Mt. Kineo, on a point of land extending into 

 the lake, is situated the celebrated Kineo House. 



In all this g" re a f inlayid sea, all parts of which are reached 

 by steamers, canoes or boats, first class trout and togue fish- 

 ing can always be had ; many white fish and cusk are also 

 taken ; it is also heavily stocked with land-locked salmon and 

 many of these of large size are taken each year ; large and 

 elegant steamers connect with the train at Greenville to all 

 portions of this lake. From Greenville Wilson Pond, Hedge- 

 hog, Trout, Upper, Rum, Horseshoe, Fitzgerald, and Squaw 

 Ponds may be reached, famous for trout and some salmon 

 fishing ; the country around these ponds is a favorite resort 

 for deer and moose hunting, also for ruffed grouse. It is dif-

 in all New England, a thousand feet above the level of the

 many brooks and rivers all teeming with brook trout from 

 half a pound to the monster inhabitant of 5 to 8 lbs., all the

 miles or thereabouts, through an unbroken wilderness and 

 traversable by canoe. At Greenville is the celebrated store 

 of D. T. Sanders and Son, where the sportsman or tourist 

 may procure anything from a cambric needle to a rifle or from 

 a handkerchief to a sleeping bag or anything else requisite to 

 the tent, the trail, the chase or a fishing expedition. 



At Greenville Jet. are the general supply stores of A. A. 

 Crafts and Jas. Bartley, where the sportsman and tourist will

 will be necessary or convenient ; here also is the general store
