for hunting, fishing, or canoeing trips, and supplies and out- 

 fits procured, or if you choose to remain here j'ou will not be 

 disappointed in any particular. Crossing the carry, 2 m. by a 

 good road, you come to the west branch of the PenobvScot 

 River, thence by canoe or trail, down the river 3 m. to lyob- 

 ster Brook ; this brook is navigable 3 m. to Lobster Lake ; 

 proceeding down the river through the celebrated Moose 

 Horn you reach the Half Way House, so called, a celebrated 

 hunting and fishing resort, kept by J. W. Smith, or " Joe," 

 as he is familiarly called ; here you are in the midst of fine 

 hunting and fishing ; thence down the river 10 m. by canoe 

 or trail by Pine Stream, over Pine Stream Falls and Rocky 

 Rips to Chesuncook Lake ; this trip has been frequently de- 

 scribed in song and story, and is certainly a delightful 

 one; Chesuncook Lake is 18 m. 1., filled with togue and 

 trout, large numbers of which are annually taken. Here also 

 is the dividing of the ways and where you have one of the 

 finest views of Mt. Katahdin ; you may also reach Caribou 

 Lake through the Thoroughfare from Chesuncook, and 

 Kelley Pond, also Rainbow Lake, one of the finest in Maine 

 and having the clearest water ; also Moose Pond, by way of 

 Moose Brook, and from Moose Pond Duck Pond is reached; 

 Rainbow Lake is best reached, however, from Ripogenus, at 

 the lower end of Chesuncook Lake ; taking a northwest- 

 ward course from the upper end of Chesuncook we pass up 

 the Umbazookskus Stream to Umbazookskus Lake, about 9 

 m., thence across this lake to Mud Pond carry ; this carry is 

 about 3 m. from Mud Pond, thence across Mud Pond, and 

 following the stream, we arrive at Chamberlain Lake, a large 

 body of water about 15 m. by 5 m. ; passing down this lake 

 by Chamberlain Farm, and through quick water, you pass 

 into Eagle Lake, a most beautiful lake ; passing down Eagle 

 Lake through Thoroughfare Brook, you reach Churchill 

 Lake; — these lakes abound in trout and togue; Churchill 

 Lake is about 6 m. 1. and 3 m. w. ; Twin Brooks, so called, 

 empty into this lake, the northern one of which is the outlet 

 of Spider Lake about 2 m. 1. and i. m. w., filled with togue ; 

 going from Spider Lake you could reach the chain of lakes 

 which would lead you to Chase and Munsungan Lakes, Milli- 

 nockett Lake, Aroostook River and the Ox Bow. Soper 

 Brook and Smith Brook empty into Eagle Lake, great resorts
