THE BEAUTY OF MAGUERROWOCK AND 
ITS LAKES. 
By Edward D. Fisher. 
Maguerrowock is a vast wilderness in a lake 
country of that name, and I will mention one 
of the lakes in that region, the East Maguerro¬ 
wock, in the heart of these woods, one that has 
the most attractions for the people who visit its <■ 
vicinity, in the fall of the year mostly when the 
woods 'begin to take on that blue and gold color. 
Oh—that splendid country, the pictures that are 
burned in my memory, never to be forgotten. , 
They who understand the wilderness only can 
ever learn to appreciate nature at 'her best; it 
has to be born not bred. One who is acquainted 
with that country may at any moment make a 
mental picture of the beauties that surround 
that lake and numerous others that are in the 
immediate vicinity, and see nature as no one has 
ever seen her before in her glory. 
The reader of this narrative may now men¬ 
tally go from the lake and take a stroll, from a 
little winding path that leads from the lake 
itself, and to a small hill called Sugar hill, reach¬ 
ing the top, going the while in a southerly di¬ 
rection and taking a glimpse from there behold 
some of the other lakes, namely the Goulding, 
W. Maguerrowock, the Rand in the extreme dis¬ 
tance and about midway the small one called 
Rouge Lake, almost a pond, it is so small but 
beautiful, for on its surface always calm can be 
seen the reflections of the surrounding woods, 
real pictures that are seen in reality by those 
only who realize that nature has a calling and 
those who answer that calling will be amply re¬ 
paid for their troubles. 
For the hunter this region especially presents 
itself, as in it game abound; few moose, but / 
deer, rabbits, partridge and several species of the 
cat family may be found. If one is good with 
his gun and it happens to be in the open season, 
he need not go home empty-handed. 
Let the reader follow the hunters’ trail that 
leads from this picturesque country and vast wil¬ 
derness, nearer civilization, and we come to more 
lakes just as charming as the others. As we 
continue to follow this trail with now and then 
a rabbit darting from the underbrush, we may 
hear a slight sound. Now if a hunter is at our 
side, he will listen intently for a moment; we 
would take it as an ordinary confusing sound of 
the woods, and pass on, but a hand detains us, 
we stop. The hunter has sharp ears, he can de¬ 
tect these slight sounds as a locomotive engineer 
can detect the sound of a loose brake, a flying 
piston, a broken rod, amid the roar of the speed¬ 
ing train. His gun is ready, the novice wonders 
until he hears the sharp report of a gun, and the , 
sound of something falling heavily. The hunter 
points toward the spot where the thud was 
heard, and behold, one of the wildest denizons 
of the woods, a fallen deer. With the report of 
the gun a loud whirring if heard and a part¬ 
ridge seeks the shelter of more friendly trees. 
By this time we have traveled very near to 
civilization, and the novice is beginning to feel 
some of' the mysteries of nature, he is nearing 
home, but is contented with the day in the woods 
as he has seen some of nature and heard some 
of her calls. Now he hears the friendly “Caw- 
Caw” of a crow in a nearby tree, he is home and 
regrets it, but lays the thought aside with the 
hope that when he enters the woods again that 
he will learn some more of nature.
