PAGE THREE Lake 0' the Woods Trip Via Ashland Offers Pleasant Sunday Outing MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. SUNDAY. JUNE 30. 1940. DEADWOQD, EARLY DAY STAGE STOP, ON SW ROUTE Lake Discovered by Captain Applegate Fish Lake Is Visited. a?. r- r.r t- LAKE-O-WOODS 07 MILES By Karl Janouch. This trip takes you to Lake o' the Woods by way of Ash land' and Fish lake, which is a beautiful route and well worth while. Leave Medford and proceed 11 miles to the city of Ashland. Another 2.6 miles brings you to the Junction of the old and new Pacific highways; turn left on the old Pacific highway for 1.9 miles and drive to the junc tion of the Dead Indian road, where another lefthand turn brings you to the Dead Indian road. After driving through country dotted with blue and white lilac, meadow daisies elderberry, buttercups, mustard and yarrow, you enter the for ested areas which made this trip a most enjoyable one be cause of the shade and cool ness which they offer. Incense cedar, ponderosa pine, white fir, Douglas fir and sugar pine tower into the sky on both sides of the road, with an un dergrowth of vine maple, elder berry, oak, chinquapin and Ore gon grape, the official flower of the state. In a short rime you rer.cn Deadwood. The original road here was built by Captain Ap plegate and a band of Indians. Deadwood was originally used by the United States army as a stage stop in their travel be tween Fort Klamath and Rogue river valley. Just .4 mile farther on you come to the Moon Prairie-Fish Lake road junction where, turn ing left, you soon enter a stand of white pine. This timber has the highest commercial value of any coniferous tree growing in the United States and is des tined to bring renown to Jack son county, since other white pine stands in the United States are scarce. This is a part of the largest stand of white pine in volume in the state of Ore gon, and the symmetry and form of this beautiful tree make its aesthetic appeal equal to its commercial value. Yew trees make up a great deal of the undergrowth of the white pine stand. This picturesque tree is used in the manufacture of bows and arrows by arch ers, and here again the aes thetic and commercial values clash. Another 8.1 miles of travel brings you to the junction of the Robinson Butte road where one may return to Medford via Soda Springs resort if desired. This is a pleasant trip by itself. Should you return at this point, you are encouraged to take the trip to Robinson Butte Look out, where a forest guard is stationed. He will point out the interesting features of the surrounding country and furnish you with any other information desired. Traveling on to Lake o the Woods, you cross the North Fork of Little Butte creek, one of the most popular fishing streams in Jackson county, on the banks of which is the North Butte forest camp for the ac commodation of the fisherman. Here you find a profusion of dogwood, buttercups and mus tard. In a short distance you reach the junction of the Fish Lake road from Medford via Butte Falls. Following the direction al sign to Lake o' the Woods brings you to the Fish Lake recreational area, where a limit catch can usually be secured in a few hours. The facilities and . recreational advantages of this lake were published heretofore. You now proceed, driving an other 6.4 miles there lies pic turesque Lake o' the Woods, nestled in a basin surrounded by towering peaks and ridges . ll SVW-al -v aa i I -T7ZLV;r'.Hl. MEDFORD 'f TO BIG CELEBRATION MORNING OF 4TH 10 A. M. Bomb to Signal Start of Largest Parade Three-Day Program Fixed covered with timber. This lake was discovered by Captain Ap plegate when he was camping nearby with a band of Indians. He heard the singing of many birds, and trying to locate them, stumbled onto the lake which he named Lake o' the Woods. Along the shores of the lake, forest camps, summer homes, and the Lake o' the Woods resort are situated in such a fashion that the beauty of the lake is not disturbed. Off. to the south and east in the primi tive area are Lake Harriette, Lake Cmoo, and other lakes all of the same intense blue. These lakes are also stocked with fish, and limit catches can be easily secured. During the summer.the own ers of the 120 summer homes located on the shores of Lake o' the Woods enjoy the rest and recreational facilities which the lake affords. The camps of the Campfire Girls, Boy Scouts and other organizations are located here. The Lake o the Woods resort is on the cart shore, and on each side of it and among the summer homes are improved campgrounds for the accommodation of tourists and campers who do not wish to stay at the resort. Lake o the Woods can be rightfully called the "Goddess of Recrea tion of Southern Oregon." It is enjoyed especially because it offers all types of recreation swimming, fishing, boating, camping and hiking. Also, pack horses are available for trips to Mt. McLoughlin, the Primi tive Area, and other points ol interest in the, surrounding ter ritory. On the north shore of the lake is the Lake o' the. Woods ranger station. The ranger, or his representative, will welcome you with the cordiality which is a forest service character istic and will furnish you with any information you desire. pointing out the recreational features of this area, or will assist in other ways to make your visit enjoyable. Leaving the ranger station you arrive a tthe entrance road to Aspen Point forest camp on the shore of the lake, where free overnight camping is per mitted. Al lthe facilities for outdoor camping are provided and the shore along this camp ground provides the best swim ming beach at the lake. 'From this point you view the mag nificent Mt. McLoughlin rising from the shore in lofty splen dor. On the other side of the resort is a free picnic ground with a capacity of 200 to 300 persons, which is used by many organizations. Adjacent to the picnic ground is the Rainbow i forest camp and on the south shore of the lake the Willow ! Springs forest camp. And so, at the end of two and a halt ' hours actual driving time, you i are left to enjoy in Its pictur esque setting, beautiful Lake o' the Woods. "Goddess of Recre ation of Southern Oregon." Your return trip may be made by way of Klamath Falls, Hyatt lake, Butte Falls, by the same rouV you arrived, or by way of Dead Indian Soda Springs. Each of these routes are interesting features of Med- ford's Rogue Wonderland.
