HUNTING AND FISHING GROUNDS AND PLEASURE RESORTS. 
night, connect at this point with the 
palace steamer City of Traverse once a 
week for Mackinac Island, the boat re- 
mains one full day and returns to Tra- 
verse City, going and coming at night, 
so that no time is lost; also with the 
pretty little bay steamer Clara Belle, 
which makes daily trips the entire circuit 
of the bay; and with a new and elegant 
steamer, the City of Grand Rapids, 
which runs daily between Traverse City, 
Petoskey, and Little Traverse, and 
185 
in Northern Michigan, then, no one is 
more desirable, more comfortable, easier 
of access, pleasanter of location, afford- 
ing better facilities and opportunities 
for enjoyment to those seeking quiet rest, 
or the sportsman with his rod and gun, 
than Traverse City. 
Returning by rail to Walton Junction, 
the visitor, by traveling four miles north 
on the main line, will reach Fife Lake, 
a village of three hundred people, situ- 
ated on the west shore of Fife Lake. 
LAKE VIEW HOUSE, MULLETT LAKE, 
owned—as are the other boats named— 
by Hannah, Lay & Co. No more de- 
lightful trip can be imagined than either 
of the ones mentioned. ‘The weekly ex- 
cursions to Mackinac on one of the finest 
boats upon the lakes, with comfortable 
sleeping accommodations and well-set 
tables, will prove especially attractive to 
tourists who are glad to run away for a 
few days from the heat and dust of the 
city to the clear cool air of Lake 
Michigan. 
Among the pleasant stopping places 
Bass, pike, and pickerei, found in abun- 
dance in the lake, grayling in the Man- 
istee River, five miles southeast, and 
brook trout in the Boardman River, six 
miles north, form the attractions of this 
locality. Grayling fishing from the head- 
waters of the Manistee to the railroad 
bridge at Walton Junction is very fine, 
and must be done from boats. A good 
road leads from Fife Lake Station to 
these waters, and no difficulty should be 
experienced in taking boats there by 
team, which can be procured at all times.
