BULLETIN 794, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGEICULTURE. 



autumn visit, October 10 and 11, we were told that there had been 

 comparatively little hunting in the neighborhood, and that the sev- 

 eral clubhouses which are situated on the shore of Enders Lake had 

 not been in use so far during that season. Hunting on some of the 

 lakes with proper blinds was good, and we were told that most of 

 the hunters who had been out had reported fair success.

LAKES OF GARDEN AND MORRILL COUNTIES. 



The group of some 90 or more lakes in the central and western 

 parts of Garden County, and in the eastern part of Morrill County, 

 extends over an area some 30 miles east and west and 25 miles north 

 and south. Most of them are small, usually not over a mile in length, 

 though Swan Lake is 3 or 4 miles long, and both Crescent and 

 Beaver (or Blue) Lakes are about 2 miles long and a mile or more 

 in width. The lakes in this region lie usually close together, and in 

 most places it is difficult to travel for more than a mile or so in any 

 direction without coming upon a lake. Many of them dry up during 

 the hottest part of the summer and during seasons with little rain.
