POINTS OF INTEREST 



IN 



MICHIG-AN - LOWER PENINSULA. 



The Lower Peninsula of Michigan, especially the northern part 

 of it, varies somewhat from the country we have been describing, 

 but not so much as to affect the varieties of game and fish. Here, 

 too, is a " Land of Lakes" as lovely and inviting as nature anywhere 

 provides. The great forests of Michigan have not all been taken yet 

 by the ruthless hand of the destroyer. Game is still plentiful. 

 Deer, bear, grouse, wild turkey, quail, and water-fowl abound. 

 The lakes and streams swarm with pickerel, pike, muskalonge, trout, 

 and that other most dainty fish, the grayling. 



There are two principal routes leading to the northern lakes of 

 Southern Michigan, viz. , the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad, 

 which pierces the " Grand Traverse region" and the Michigan Cen- 

 tral Railroad, which passes more to the east, touching Saginaw Bay 

 and penetrating the heart of Michigan's pine forest. 



En route for the GRAND TRAVERSE region the sportsman 

 from Chicago can take either one of several railway lines eastward 

 to a point of intersection with the Grand Rapids and Indiana Rail- 

 road, and then proceed directly northward to destination. From 

 southern and eastern points the traveler need not come to Chicago 

 at all. 



Eighty-five miles beyond Grand Rapids the sportsman will have 

 fairly entered upon the borders of a "land of lakes and streams." 

 At Tustin, Clam Lake, and the crossing of Manistee River, a 

 stream famous for its fine grayling, the sportsman will do well to 

 tarry. If Traverse City is the point of destination the traveler will 

 change cars at Walton Junction. 



TRAVERSE CITY is situated upon a peninsula formed by the 

 Boardman River and Grand Traverse Bay, and is a splendid point 

 for fishermen's headquarters.
