Comparatively few Of our people know
that We have, within five miles of the city,
one of the most beautiful pleasure resorts in
the state We refer TO Reeds Pond, fine
sheet of water, lying in Ellsworth and Ded-
ham, sur ounded by high mountains, smooth,
white beaches and shady groves. The FISH
ing there is reported excellent, large num-
bers of unusually large pickerel and land
locked salmon being yearly taken. The lake
also abounds in white perch and, having
been stocked few years ago with black
bass, will, doubtless, make excellent angling
in the near future. The lake is already sup
piled with sail and row boats and there are
negotiations in progress towards purchasing
a small steamer for the use Of pleasure par
ties. With these attractions and the fact
that when completed, our railroad will run
for some distance along the shore, must
make is fine lake quite a popular resort.
