islands off the shore make pleasant objectives 
     
     for boating trips, and the natural arch of rock 
     
     in a little sandy cove, reached through the fields, 
     
     is a good direction in which to take a quiet stroll. 
     
     The beach is very enjoyable, and ladies spend 
     
     many happy hours here watching the children 
     
     boating and playing in the sand. 
     
    

    
     Charlo River is one of that fine chain of 
     
     watering places or summer resorts that stretches 
     
     down the River and Gulf of St. Lawrence to 
     
     the Atlantic shore, following the line of the 
     
     Intercolonial Railway. From Charlo, and east, 
     
     the wide, open waters of the Gulf are gradually 
     
     reached; but strong as this district is in water 
     
     privileges and cool air, it has other features that are almost greater- 
     
     For Charlo is one of those delightful country places where fine woods 
     
     abound, where glorious country roads stretch out in many a shady 
     
     avenue of noble trees, and where a romantic river dashes and 
     
     plays over rocks, tumbles over falls, courses through gorges, ripples 
     
     under bridges, rests by the meadows and slumbers under the 
     
     shady hills. For fishermen it has great attraction, because it is 
     
     an ”open" stream; but a still greater lure is the fact that fine 
     
     salmon are caught there, and the waters are not fished out. For 
     
     some reason, probably because of its pure water, salmon often turn 
     
     into the Charlo in large numbers. On that account and because of 
     
     the total absence of urban life, excellent fishing is the result. 
     
    

    
     The Charlo is a stream full of beauty, and one that the nature- 
     
     lover may enjoy to his heart's content. The country around and 
     
     every approach to the river is clean, picturesque and unspoiled by 
     
     vandal crowds. There are no excitements and no startling incidents 
     
     in the quiet life of the place. On the other hand, there is every suit- 
     
     able surrounding and inducement to enjoy nature, to live a life of 
     
     quiet ease varied by healthful recreation amidst enjoyable surround- 
     
     ings—a life that best fits the vacationist for active winter work in 
     
     the crowded city. 
     
    

    
     The conformation of the country through which the river 
     
     runs is such that fishing may readily be done in many places without 
     
     boats. Another advantage is that the river is close at hand. It 
     
     is not necessary to go a considerable distance before a line may be 
     
     well cast, for a short walk leads to woodland depths, leafy shade 
     
     and the secluded, rippling stream.
