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

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.

Plays at Oriental
Gardens This Week

the biggest dances in southern
Oregon or northern California
in recent years will be held at
Oriental Gardens next Tuesday
night when Phil Harris and
his orchestra appear here.
Dancers are expected to come
from many distant points be
cause Medford is one of three

ris' appearance this season. He
plays July 3 and 4 in Baker
and only one night, July 9,
in Portland at Jantzen Beach.
This will be his first stop north

ered wagons, the cavalcade will
depict many thrilling episodes
including Indian wars, the dis
covery of Crater lake, the found

highlights of historical interest.
Playing Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings, "Cavalcade
