Vacation Land — The National Forests in Oregon ^^^^; 



The North Fork Smith River country presents fair fishing and hunting oppor- 

 tunities. It is accessible by boat from ^lapleton for i mile down the Siuslaw 

 River to Hadsell Creek, and the rest of the way by a poor trail. There are several 

 old cabins along this trail which could be used by campers, but horse feed would 

 have to be packed in. It requires from one to two days' travel to reach this 

 country. 



Tsiltcoos, Woahink, and Tahkenitch Lakes are from 3 to 15 miles south of 

 Glenada, and are readily reached by railroad. An inland road also gives wagons 

 access to these lakes from Glenada. At Tsiltcoos there are gasoline launches and 

 rowboats for hire. 



At Tsiltcoos, on Tsiltcoos Creek, a few miles from Ada and Lane on the Southern 

 Pacific Railway and reached by boat from these points on Tsiltcoos Lake, a number 

 of lots have been surveyed for summer-home sites. These lots may be leased at 

 from $7.50 to $10 a year. Here as at the Cape Perpetua home-site area there are 

 both beach and forest. 



Winchester Bay at the mouth of the Umpqua River is reached from Eugene. 

 Scottsburg and Gardiner are located on the Umpqua River, as is Reedsport, through 

 which the railroad passes. Light-draft boats can reach Gardiner from the coast. 



North and South Tenmile Lakes, with hotel accommodations, are located on 

 the Southern Pacific line from Eugene to Marshfield. They may also be reached 

 by automobile over an inland route from Coos Bay. Gasoline launches and row- 

 boats can be hired on South Tenmile Lake. The Forest lies one-half mile west, 

 and Tenmile Creek affords good fishing possibilities. 



Coos Bay can be reached by the new railroad from the north. Travel from the 

 south would be principally by wagon or automobile from Roseburg. The main 

 points of interest are North Bend, Marshfield, and Allegany. Large boats from 

 northern and southern points can reach Marshfield and North Bend. The j\Iil- 

 licoma country offers fair fishing opportunities in the spring and summer, as well 

 as good hunting. It can be reached from Allegany in from one to two days' travel, 

 and is accessible also from Scottsburg. 



These places all lie in the vicinity of good fishing and hunting countries. With 

 the completion of the Southern Pacific line from Eugene to IMarshfield, and the 

 construction of roads and trails by the Forest Service within the Forest, the 

 country lying within the Siuslaw National Forest will be^come more readily acces-
