Famed Northern Ontario canoe cruises have pljoved a favorite sport tor enthusiastic anglers. One of the best canoe routes in Eastern Canada is the Mississauga Canoe cruise, starting trom Bisco- tasing on the main transcontin- ental line of the C.P.R.. 89 miles west of Sudbury, and terminating at Thesaalon on the Soo Branch of the C.R.R. Since this rugged canoe trip was Brst mapped out, many Ira- vellers have numbed down its smooth stretches. run its foam- flecked rapids and revelled in its scenery. ‘ The Emerald Circle Canoe Cruise in the Chapleou District of Northern Ontario takes its name from the-unique, ‘colorful beauty, of Emerald Lake. The water is so clear that lake trout may be discerned at twenty feet in its crystal depths. The lake's real fascination lies in its gorgeous green hues running the spectrum mm deep emerald through the iades to the delicate aquamarine. A slight putt of wind and the en- tire lake is a weaving jewelled brocade. Its length of some 275 miles, however, has otten proved a de, terrent to canoeists who ttnd themselves somewhat limited as to lime. Such prospective "vor- ageurs" will greet with enthusi~ asm the announcement that a short-cut has been opened up which reduces the total distance by_7l Tiles, Good fishing is promised throughdut the whole trip and adequate 2"lt sites are provided.
