Crater Lake, containing 30 acres, surrounded by picturesque, perpendicular 

 walls, is a natural wonder, located at the headwaters of Cliff River, a tributary of 

 the Imnaha. Trolling for eastern brook trout furnishes good sport. This lake

 road westward to the top of Summit Creek ridge, thence by pack trail following the 

 Cliff River stock driveway to destination.

 wide, on the Union-Cornucopia Road, 30 miles northeast of Baker, Oreg., by 

 automobile. Good camping, fishing, and boating facilities are afforded. A daily 

 automobile stage runs from Baker to Cornucopia, about 75 miles. 



Fizz Springs are soda springs located near the head of Little Eagle Creek on the 

 Union-Cornucopia Road, 10 miles west of Pine Valley and 45 miles northeast of 

 Baker. Automobiles reach the springs with some difficulty. Every year many 

 people spend weeks at this remote summer resort to rest and drink the spring water.

 wild game are found near by. Horse feed is found on the benches south of the 

 springs.

 their homes along this stream. For the return trip, the traveler has the choice of 

 several different routes, all affording excellent fishing, hunting, and scenery.
