One of the iVIany Beauliful Mountain Lakes. 



The trout streams in Broadwater County are Duck, Deep and Grey 

 son Creeks, reached from Townsend, the County Seat, and Dry Creek 

 from Toston. The fall duck hunting is fine along the sloughs of the 

 Missouri in this section. From Helena it is an eighteen mile drive 

 to Canyon Ferry on Lake Sewall, a lake of the Missouri River. There 

 is an excellent hotel at this point and many fishermen take advantage 

 of the opportunity afforded to angle for perch and whitefish. Lake 

 Helena, twelve miles from the City has been well stocked 

 with different variety of fish. There are also some black bass in 

 this body of water. Lately eastern brook trout have been planted here 

 by the United States government. From Helena, Alhambra Springs on 

 the Great Northern, is distant twenty-two miles. Here are two hotels, 

 which afford hospitality to the fisherman and hunter. This point is 

 on the Prickly Pear Creek, which contains fine specimens of the trout 

 variety. In the mountains on both sides of this resort are found deer. 



Prickly Pear Canyon, northeast of Helena, is also a favorite fishing 

 point. This may be reached at Mitchell, thirty miles from Helena, on 

 the Great Northern, or Wolf Creek, eight miles farther. From Wolf 

 Creek is a daily stage to Clemens on the North Fork of the Dearborn, 

 forty miles distant. By the stage line many fishing points may be 

 reached on Wolf Creek, South, Middle and North Fork of Dearborn 

 River. The Dearborn country is also a favored one for the deer hunter 

 as here both white and black tails are plentiful, while near the upper 

 waters of the North Fork are found Mountain sheep and bears. 

 This entire section is well supplied with prairie chickens. West of 

 Helena the Northern Pacific crosses the continental divide at Blossburg, 

 eighteen miles distant from the city. On the western slope of the 

 divide, from Elliston to Garrison, the road follows the Little Blackfoot 

 River. In these waters are many native trout, besides a liberal supply
