lots which have been surveyed on the area may be leased at from $io to $12.50 per 

 annum. Good fishing may be found at both places. This region is of unusual 

 geological interest, the lakes being located in an immense crater, surrounding which 

 is a rim rising in some places nearly 2,000 feet above the lake level. Its highest 

 peak is Paulina Peak, another Forest Service lookout station, 2 miles by trail from 

 Paulina Lake. This peak is about 8,475 ^^^^ i^ elevation. 



The Paulina Mountain region is in a detached portion of the Deschutes National 

 Forest and is practically all within the Deschutes Game Reservation created by the 

 State of Oregon. Game birds and animals are protected, but the angler is welcome. 

 Bear hunting is good and the bears are not protected. 



Several ice caves exist on or near the Forest. Among these are the Arnold 

 Ice Cave, 16 miles southeast of Bend, the South Ice Cave, 18 miles north of Fort 

 Rock, and the Edison Ice Cave, 8)4 miles northwest of the Big River ranger station, 

 all accessible by automobile. 



In the region are many extinct volcanic craters, one of the most easily accessible 

 and most interesting of which is Lava Butte. This is just outside the Forest, about 

 10 miles south of Bend and one-quarter mile from the road. At its summit is a 

 crater having an unbroken rim. 



The supervisor has headquarters at Bend, and district rangers are located at 

 Sisters, Lapine, and Fort Rock, and at Pine Mountain ranger station. 



FREMONT NATIONAL FOREST 



THE Fremont National Forest (856,369 acres) is located in the counties of 

 Lake and Klamath in south-central Oregon, and furnishes protection to the 

 headwaters of Williamson, Sprague, and Sycan Rivers. The Sycan flows 

 into the Sprague and the Sprague into the Williamson, which in turn flows into the 

 Upper Klamath Lake. 



The Fremont Forest and vicinity furnish a variety of game and fish. Mule 

 deer are plentiful, but hard to capture. Antelope still occur in the "desert" 

 east of the Forest, but seldom venture into the timber. Various kinds of ducks 

 and geese are found in abundance on the lakes and streams. .This section of Oregon 

 is a veritable duck hunter's paradise. Grouse are plentiful in the timber. Sage 

 hens are found by thousands on the sagebrush plains to the east. They are also 

 found within the Forest but in much smaller numbers. The small streams throughout
