ander Mackenzie, from Canada, by land, the twenty-second of July, -
one thousand seven hundred and ninety-three.’ ”

From this it will be seen that Alexander Mackenzie’s epochal journey
from sea to sea anticipated the Lewis and Clark Expedition by twelve
years. It must be remembered that the name Canada applied then only
to Eastern Canada.

The Monument itself is some miles beyond the south-west boundary
of the Park, on the north shore of Dean Channel, near Ocean Falls, but
Mackenzie’s actual route is still clearly to be followed, and is one of the
Park’s most interesting features. Starting from a point about 8 miles
from Stuie, at the southern extremity of the Park area, a good trail
leads up the mountain and along Mosher Creek, to link up finally with
Mackenzie’s route. The trail is cut out all the way to Tanya Lakes
and makes a safe and easy trip.

Burns Lake in the north and Bella Coola in the south are the recog-
nized gateways to Tweedsmuir Park.

Burns Lake is a brisk little town on the Canadian National Rail-
ways, in the centre of what has been named very aptly “the Lakes
District,” finely scenic and rich in big game, and, in the vicinity of
Burns Lake, an excellent mixed-farming section. The name “the Lakes
District ” is entirely appropriate, since Burns Lake is the geographic
centre of a marvellous group of splendid lakes, in all of which the fish-
ing is wonderful. To the north, and easily reached by automobile, are
Babine Lake and Stuart Lake, the former 95 miles long and the latter
48 miles long, and both noted for their fine trout-fishing.
