 The Muskoka Lakes contain between four 
 hundred and live hundred islands of everv 
 shape and size, ranging from one of over i.iob 
 acres, in Lake Rosseau, to those containing but 
 a single tree, or a rock rising sheer from the 
 water's edge. The most numerous, however 
 are denselv covered with pine, balsam, cedar' 
 birch, niajjle oak and other varieties of tree life. 
 
 Many of the islands, on which have been 
 erected handsome dwellings, are the iirivate 
 property of wealthy Americans and Canadians 
 but there are hundreds of choice little spots on 
 which any party is at liberty to take up their 
 abode for the season.

 appreciated than in the midst of these lakes,

 Orlllla is the next town reached, and is situated be-

 are several resorts which are favorites to manv. " With-

 says the hd/c7>il/,' Daily Ontario, -2, universal verdict 
 accjuiescet ji by every visitor to this flourishing town 
 ()f 6,000 inhabitants, on the shores of Lake Couchichintr 
 And the Ontario miKdit have gone further and said that 
 the lake, dotted with islands, was the pret.Iest in all 
 America, and that Couchiching Beach, "where breezes 
 blow, was not surpassed for beauty in the whole world 
 1 he town, with its neat, clean streets, arched with trees 
 situated between Lakes Simcoe and Couchichintr, at an' 
 altitude oi about 800 feet above the sea-level is an ideal 
 summer resort. In the lakes contiguous, some of the best 
 hshing in Canada maybe enjoved ; salmon trout, black 
 has-, herring and maskinonge being plentiful. Several 
 lakesio- summer resorts.-Geneva Park, Strawberry 
 island. Horseshoe Island,— are within a half-hour's sail 
 of the town. From Orillia it is only a ride of some fifty 
 odd miles to Muskoka Wharf, and'it is now that the ap- 
 pearance of the country changes from the cultivated and 
 prosperous farms to the more rugged and rocky nature of 
 the Highlands. On the train speeds, through deep rock 
 cuts, through woods and past beautiful stretches ofwater 
 in pleasing succession, until it reache.s Muskoka Wharf 
 Severn River.-We leave th.se pleasures to stop at 
 Severn River, where the promised store of nature's gifts 
 are extended with a lavish hand. Trout, pickerel and

 , At Muskoka Wharf the (oiimiodious and 
 trim steamers of the N'avigatioii Coinpanv are 
 awaiting the tram. ( )n alighting, there islittle 
 to suggest the beauties and delights bevond 
 and one is impatient to leave the buzz oY the 
 husv sawmills and rafts of logs which are in 
 evidence in the immediate vicinity. As soon as 
 the passengers and baggage are transferred to 
 the steamers, one of which proceeds to the head 
 ol Lake Joseph and another to the head of 
 Lake Kosseau, the lines are cast off and the 
 lioats start on the lake journey. The unsiVhtly 
 sawmills are left behind, and vistas of gorgeous 
 Ijeautv ineet the eye on every hand. One of

 whole lake system, it pours 
 oN'er a beautiful fall, and the

 About two and a half miles 
 from the mouth of the Musk-

 f)ranches off, entering; the 
 (ieor^ian Hay some twenty 
 miles north, 'lood maskin- 
 onj,^' lisliini,^ is to be bad for 
 the trouble. 
 
 A^ai n start injj; from 
 I5eaiiinaris, the steamer 
 winds its way throuj,di the 
 many islands, until the In- 
 dian Ki\er is reached, -a 
 small stream which connects 
 Lake Kosseau with Lake 
 Muskoka, and here the 
 pi( tures(|ueness of the sur- 
 rounding's battles descri])- 
 tion. I'he boat f^lides 
 through this narrow chan- 
 nel until it reaches I'ort 
 Carlin^', a small settlement 
 with good hotels, a church, 
 stores, etc., and at this jioint 
 the steamer goes into a lo<k 
 and is raised to the level of 
 Lake Rosseau, which is 
 about five feet higher than 
 Lake Muskoka. 
 
 If Lake Muskoka is 
 be.'iutifnl, Lakes Rosseau 
 and Joseph are also su- 
 
 pe' nly grand, and, if anything, surpass the first stretch of water 
 i!i splendor. While emerging from the Indian River, a labyrinth 
 of beautifullv wooded islands greets the eye, and the fast steamer 
 seems to skim past the ever-changing scenes, gliding gracefully 
 
 Echo Rock, Lake Joseph.

 Steamer on Lake Muskoka, 
 
 through narrow channels and winding its wa\ through what to the 
 inexperienced eye seems to be tiangerous narrows. Here and there 
 on the journey a Hag floats out m the breeze from the wharf of 
 the island residents, which is the signal for the steamer. At another 
 point the supply boat is at the wh.irf, and the (ottagers arc marketing 
 in this uni(|ue way. These boats make dailv tri])S over all the l.iki's, 
 and where the white flag is displaved is the sign that the l.irder of 
 the cottager needs replenishing, atuf the little steam store makes a call. 
 
 Kxcellent hotels are sitii.ited at all points. At I'ort Cockbiirn a 
 stage line runs to ^Llple Lake, a distance of eight miles, which is 
 reached in time for a capital supper, and the tniin is taken here lor 
 Larry Sound and the Georgian ISay, distant about tifteen miles. The 
 stage line drive is a most interesting and delightful one, the road 
 being cut through the forests, with here and there a clearing, a lake 
 or a brook. 
 
 Lake Rosseau, as well as the other two large bodies of water in 
 this district, is not behind in its attracti\eness. At Rosseau, Shiulow 
 River, that wonderful stream of pellucid water, in which the smalli'st 
 objects are reflected with life-like truthfulness, is located, and ;i trip 
 up this river is one that will be forever rememliered. 'I'he illustration 
 on the last two pages of this publication will give a me.igre idea of 
 the realistic nature of this scene. l<'roni Rosseau there is also a stage 
 line to Maple Lake, a distance of thirteen miles, over a pictures(|ue 
 road. One of the chief features of this district is its apparent immunity 
 from fhes and mosquitoes, the sign of one being most rare,

A Highland Stream, Muskoka Lakes District. 
 
 paratively little trouble to a district which has hitherto been access- 
 ible only to those with ample means and time. The Ma^netawan 
 River IS just eciuuhstant between the Muskoka Lakes and Lake 
 Nipissin^r, and drains a surface of about 4,000 square miles. Some 
 idea may, therefore, be ^aibered of its maj,'nitude and of the possi- 
 bilities for canoeing opened up by the ramirication of the numerous 
 tributaries and their connected lake enlargements. 
 
 The very heart centre for sport, for rod and gun. 
 Its rivers and lakes can be ascended and descended in 
 canoes, amid the best of sport, while the eve is fascinated 
 by the fresh and unsullied wildness of its forest haunts. 
 
 Burk's Falis stands upon the banks of the main 
 Magnetawan at the head of steamboat navigation, and 
 about half a mile below the forks of the river where the 
 two great north and south branches join. From here can 
 be taken either of the steamers of the Muskoka Naviga- 
 tion Company — the Wenona or Wanita. 
 
 For fifteen miles the river is followed, winding to 
 and fro, as all Muskoka rivers seem to do. Lake Cecebe 
 forms the next link for ten miles, at the foot of whic'.i is 
 the village of Magnetawan There arc two good hotels 
 here — the Klondike and the Osborne House. After 
 passing through the locks, the steamer continues for 
 three miles more in the river, and then enters Lake Ah- 
 mic. This is another of the gems of Mu:,koka, most 
 quaint in form. The lake is twelve miles in length. This 
 is also another excellent route for boating, as there are 
 no rapids to interfere, or portages to make, while a nice 
 diversity of paddling or rowing in the river is inter- 
 spersed with sailing on the lakes. The camping facili- 
 ties are good. The pioneers who have penetrated this 
 country and settled on its lake shores are all sportsmen, 
 and boats and canoes and skillful guides can be found 
 evervwhere, 
 
 _ From here on, the more adventurous can continue 
 their canoe route by the Great River, twelve miles to 
 
 (15) 
 
 Lake Wa-wa-kesh, and thence to T.vng Inlet, al)()ut lii'ty miles away 
 on the (u'orgian Bay. In this distance there are twentv portages of 
 varving lengths, from one of some two miles to most of onlv a few 
 vards. It is a trij) not to be attempted without first-class'guides 
 I hese portages made, there are few difficulties to be overcome 
 
 Visitors to the Muskoka Lake region should take a trii) on the 
 Magnetawan before returning home. 
 
 The combined paddle and screw steamer " Wenonah " and 
 steamer '' VVanita," leave daily, except .Sunday, in connection with 
 the Grand I runk Railway at Murk's Falls for Cecebe, Magnetawan 
 Village, Port Anson and Alunic Harbor. 
 
 In an article published in Land and Water, Boston, August, 1808. 
 Mr. Richard K. Heath says:— > & . v. 
 
 " The angler will find an abundance of salmon trout, bass, pick- 
 erel, and other varieties of fish. The speckled trout, which every 
 knight of reel and rod loves to play, is found in abundance in these 
 waters. One afternoon while on the Magnetawan river, a tributary of 
 these lakes, I saw one of our party catch ninety-seven trout the 
 largest tipping the scales at 1% pounds. It may seem a little strange, 
 but black flies and mosquitoes are very scarce. 
 
 "The Magnetawan District was a favorite resort during the i8n8 
 hunting season for sportsmen, and those who took this route thor- 
 oughly enjoyed themselves. Deer were most plentiful. On the re- 
 turn journey, I counted, in one car, fortv-six deer and three bears 
 More bears were shot last season than usiial."

 Parry Sound occupies the land about the 
 mouth of the Seguin River, and has a frontage 
 of more than two miles along the waters of the 
 Sound and Inner Channel. I'he site of the town 
 is a picturesque and imposing one, including, as 
 It does, the dejjression ot the basin of the river 
 and the heiglits and slopes along its banks, and 
 overlooking the waters of the spacious harbor. 
 Prom the heights in and about the town, views 
 almost unparalleled for attractiveness of river 
 and rapids, channels and islands, forest and 
 stream, lie open in all directions. Variegated 
 foliages, from the darker evergreens to the sil- 
 ver hned aspen, including nearlv all the varie- 
 ties of the hard and soft woods of this belt, lend 
 an added and graceful charm, extending from 
 the water's edge upward and back till it melts 
 in the distance. 
 
 GEORGIAN BAY. 
 
 One of the grandest trips that Ontario af- 
 fords is through the islands of the Georgian Bay. 
 It is estijiiated that there are more than thirty 
 thousand islands in this immense arm of Lake 
 Huron. In general character they resemble 
 
 Five O'clock in the Morning.— Lake Rosseau. 
 
 those of the St. Lawrence River, but of course are in- 
 hnitely more numerous and still retain their original wild 
 picturesqueness. Thus, as the steamer glides on through 
 narrow channels, in and out of innumerable bays and in- 
 lets, island after island succeeds each other in an un- 
 broken continuity ; islands of every conceivable shape 
 and size, some are bare and rocky, others are clad in verd- 
 ure. Here one rises in castellated pinnacles, and anon, 
 another is densely wooded with inviting shades and cosy 
 camping grounds offering delightful shelter to pleasure 
 parties, for more than si.xty miles, through the Inner 
 Channel of this great arm of Lake Huron, the large and 
 fast steamer passes through this panorama of inland scen- 
 ery, and on to Midland and Penetang. The steamer ser- 
 vice is all that can be desired, and the vessels are of 
 modern construction, having all the accommodations and 
 appointments necessary for the comfort and convenience 
 of tourists. The Gkand Trunk Railway trains from 
 the east and west, via Toronto, connect with the steamers 
 at Collingwood, Penetang or Midland, these points being 
 situated on the Georgian Bay coast.
