BEAR LAKE
“THE SPORTSMAN’S PARADISE”

By G. F. Turner.

EAVING Barkerville, the road runs due north to Bear Lake, a distance

of 20 miles, making a gradual descent of 1,200 feet in that distance

and passing through a beautifully timbered country, with open spaces here
and there, where at times one may catch a glimpse of wild game.

On reaching Bear Lake, a region greets one’s view that has a distinctive
phase of beauty, unsurpassed in America; the alluring details of mountain
country are there, ice cold creeks, clear invigorating atmosphere, and glorious
bursts of scenery.

Here, if one wishes to make a trip to the upper lakes, can be secured
the services of a competent guide, who will supply boats and camping equip-
ment at reasonable rates.

Good fishing may be had, Rainbow, Mackinaw and Dolly Varden Trout
in abundance, and in the hunting season, Deer, Moose, Cariboo, Goats, Grizzly
and Black Bear, a veritable ‘“‘sportsman’s Valhalla.”

During the warm summer days a trip through the lakes will ever remain
a pleasant event in one’s memory, for a certain indescribable gentleness of
harmony throughout the landscape, combines to give this favored spot a rare
charm of serenity and repose.
