These numerous bodies of water are for the most part small, but of surpassing loveli ness. In addition to this, Wayne county Itself Is a beautiful and picturesque section, and It Is strange that It Is so little known to the people of the whole State. Tho prevailing Impression is that Wayne county is a wild and thickly wooded tract of rough, stony, moun tainous country, alivo with rattlesnakes, and inhabited only by rough backwoodsmen. Nothing can be further from the truth. It Is a splendidly cultivated section of the State, with multitudes of well tilled farms and sub stantial farm houses and outbuildings. The great forests of tho county have long since disappeared, and good roads aro found in evory direction. The county Is mountainous. There are 70 lakes of more than twenty acres, besides a large number of others 'from two to five and even ten ncres, 160 In all, and taken as a whole It Is doubtful whether any Stato can present a more beautiful and varied assortment. They are pretty well scattered throughout the county. Nearly evory t'wnshlp contains one or more, although Preston has by far the greater number. Here are grouped thirty four pretty natural lakes, eighteen of which are of fair size. Report of Pennsylvania Fish Commissioners, 1896.
