Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-08-16

Summertime in the lake region pre-
sents a sight well worth the time OF
anyone who wants TO get an idea OF
the recreation activities at the vari
Gus resorts and camp sites along the
route
Tuesday we took a jaunt west cover
ing something like a hundred and
thirty miles visiting various resorts
between Eagle River and Minocqua
The thirty miles represents the dis
lance between this place and our
neighboring town. the hundred miles
covered our side trips which took in
Sugar Camp in one direction and the
territory adjacent to Sayner in the
other.
Knapp & Jones at Sugar Camp were
found to be busy entertaining a full
house at their popular resort on the
chain of lakes in that part of Oneida
county. They have well appointed
place. neatly kept, and we can under
stand how they merit the patronage
that appearances showed them to en-
JOY.
Peninsula Inn, the pretty little re
sort on Kathan lake, owned and oper
ated by Henry Hayton, afforded us
another pleasant stop. Mr.. and Mrs.
EIayton have been busy all season car
ing for capacity patronage. Their
resort with its home-like surroundings
comprises a group of rustic cottages
facing the lake that appeal to the
city workers as an ideal place for q
restful vacation.
Out on Highway 70 we stopped at
Walter DeHaase's Red Oak Resort;
found it running i'll mid-season form
catering to full house Of satisfied
guests. Red Oak Resort is distinctive
in it's setting and the unique rustlclty
Of it's furnishings It's main building
carries a number Of decorative panels
from the brush of Mr.. DeHasse, typi-
cal of the North Woods, and the rus
tic idea is carried out in the number
of cottages grouped around the lake.
Further out on 20 we found Green
wood Ranch and its owner DR.. John
r. Powell. Greenwood Ranch carries
as slogan on its signboard, Thirty
Miles of Shoreline' and after looking
over it's grounds on Little st. Ger
main we can see where those who
desire a place to fish and enjoy all
the other pleasures of a North Woods
outing can easily have their wants
filled at that popular hostelry
Sisson's Resort on the same lake is
new resort built this season. It's
new buildings are nicely situated
among the pines that border the lake.
We didn't stop there for the reason
that big car tearing along at rate
of about fifty miles hour put us in
the ditch before getting there and by
the time we got extricated from that
hole we found road grader working
in front Of Jacks road and we got
cold feet about turning off again, de-
Gliding that on our return we'd pay
the Sissons a call. Coming back we
saw the road was in fine shape but
it was at an hour when we know Jack
and his guests would be enjoying
their nights repose under the peace
full inducement Of the North Woods
night air, so we didn't inflict the
noise of our new elizabeth" on
their restful slumbers.
At Perreault's on the end of Little
st. German we found a busy crowd.
Ed, whose reputation as a chef is
known far and wide. was busy in the
kitchen. There we traded cigar for
a piece of pie and quit bothering him
to visit the Mrs out in the laundry
Ed has a nice place there and has
been enjoying good patronage this
season.
Along about then it felt like din.
ner time so we beat it out to Found
Lake Resort. Jess A. Johnson the new
owner there this season has made
several changes and improvements
and has enjoyed full house practical
ly all season. Walter Gander Sr., pre-
sides as chef at that establishment
so we took dinner with Mother and
Dad, and felt right at home.
After dinner our next stop was at
Gabe's resort on Lost Lake. Ed as
usual, was busy taking care of his
August trade, which keeps him on
the bound when it is known that he
