and tumbled rocks. On the summits are 
fair lakes, containing different species of 
the finny tribe, mirroring still higher hills 
and fringing forests.. Halfway between 
Lackawaxen and Shohola is Panther 
Brook, with its charming glen and cata- 
ract, and its splendid trout! A mile 
above the station is Lord’s Brook, which 
forms a number of handsome falls a short 
distance back in the woods, and adds its 
quota of trout to the demand of the 
neighborhood. On the top of the ridge 
across the Delaware, a mile from Lacka- 
waxen, is York Lake, a large expanse of 
crystal water, stocked with the choicest 
pickerel. 
at the junction of the Delaware and 
Lackawaxen valleys is Wescoline Lake, 
also famous for pickerel. Taylor’s Brook, 
noted for trout, is five miles distant; the 
Shohola fishing-grounds, six miles; and 
Blooming Grove Park, twelve miles. The 
Williamson House is a first-class stop- 
ping-place. Its rooms are large and airy, 
with extended ceiling. From the piazzas 
of the hotel, one of the finest views in 
the Delaware Valley is obtainable. Its 
proprietor is Mr. J. Williamson, a gen- 
tleman who ‘knows how to keep a ho- 
tel.” Terms $7 a week for the season. 
The Delaware House is also a first-class 
stopping place, and occupies a splendid 
position. It is located on the plateau that 
lies at the meeting-place of the two rivers 
half a mile beyond the depot. It is but 
a few steps to the “ Point ” from the ho- 
tel, where the whole grand view up and 
down the river is brought before the vis- 
itor. The proprietor of the Delaware 
House, F. J. Holbert, is an excellent 
host, and for further information address 
him at Lackawaxen, Pike county, Penn- 
sylvania. Accommodations can also be 
obtained at the National Hotel, near the 
depot, besides there are several private 
Beyond the crag that stands _ 
families that entertain transient guests 
at reasonable prices. 
Six miles west of Lackawaxen is Pine 
Grove Station, near which are several 
most excellent trout streams. The fish 
are abundant, and though not over large, 
show their*game qualities by the way 
they test the strength of the angler’s 
tackle. 
Narrowsburg, one hundred and twen- 
ty-two miles from New York, is located 
in such scenery as has already been de- 
scribed in the Delaware Valley. There 
are streams abounding in trout, lakes 
filled with pickerel, forests in which deer, 
bear, and ruffed grouse are found, and 
mountains that afford most magnificent 
views and where the purest of air can be 
inhaled. The Murray House is a large, 
sightly hotel, its every surrounding being 
neatness itself. It is kept by Messrs. C. 
J. & C. H. Murray. 
Cocheton, a few miles from Narrows- 
burg, offers many inducements to the 
sportsman, the angler, and tourist. It is 
in the centre of a fine hunting district, 
abounding in quail, woodcock, pheasants, 
rabbits, &c., with a few deer and bears 
with which to vary the sport. In the 
vicinity are several fine trout streams, 
and in the mountains, within four miles 
of the station, are numerous lakes afford 
ing excellent pickerel fishing. Among 
the trout streams dre Calkins’ Brook, 
Bush’s Creek, Tyler Brook, Beaver-Dam 
Creek, and Mitchell Brook, all near by. 
Lake Huntington and Mitchell Lake are 
noted places, and have good road leading 
to them from the station. At Lake Hun- 
tington, four miles distant, Peter Fah- 
renz has an excellent house. ‘Trout of 
the largest size and game to the last are 
taken from this lake. There are several 
excellent places in and about Cochecton 
where visitors ean find the best of accom-
