 Lake Crescent is unique in being the home of the Beardsley and Crescent trout, 

 which are found nowhere else in the world. The Beardsley is the largest known 

 true fresh-water trout. Specimens weighing 24 pounds have been caught in recent 

 years, by trolling with a metal line at a depth of 200 feet. The open fishing season 

 is from April to November, inclusive. 



The Quinault Lake region has been made accessible recently to tourists and is 

 rapidly becoming appreciated on account of its picturesque setting among densely 

 timbered mountain slopes, with a background border of high craggy ridges and 

 snow-covered peaks. It is approximately 4 miles long by 2 miles wide. It is 

 located 45 miles north of Hoquiam, Wash., and being on the Olympic Highway 

 can readily be reached by automobile. There is a daily motor stage service be- 

 tween Hoquiam and the lake. Points of interest in this vicinity are Mount Baldy, 

 Colonel Bob, Finley Ridge, and Three Lakes meadow. The canoe trip down the 

 lower river 35 miles through the Quinault Indian Reservation to Taholah, on the 

 ocean beach, is worth taking. High glacial mountains, such as Mount Anderson 

 and some of the large groups surrounding Olympus, offer wilder interest. Good 

 fishing has always been a strong attraction to those visiting this region. Quinault
