There are excellent sites for summer homes at Minam, Mirror, and Aneroid 

 Lakes. All of these lakes, and many smaller ones, are stocked with game fish. For 

 persons not wishing the hardships of camp life excellent facilities are offered at 

 Wallowa Lake, near Joseph, Oreg., where ample accommodations are provided by 

 an amusement company. Fishing, swimmimg, and beating are to be had during 

 the summer. 



There is excellent fishing in the larger rivers and their tributaries. All are 

 readily accessible either by road or trail. On the Minam and Imnaha Rivers fishing 

 is not good until the middle of July. This is due to high water in these streams until 

 that time. In a general way, fishing is good from April to September in the lower 

 canyon and during July and August in all the streams in the higher mountains. 



Hunting is best in the northern half of the Forest and along the breaks of Snake 

 River. There is a noticeable lack of both deer and game birds in the high moun- 

 tains. Along the Minam River deer are usually found in abundance, but they are 

 difficult to hunt because of the steep slopes. A few days spent on Powwatka, Kuhn,
