The lake is equipped with a large and well-fitted flotilla of row boats and power launches, and the unsurpassed trout fishing may be enjoyed to its fullest extent. The falls of the Toxaway Biver have a drop of 400 feet from the level of the lake to the bed of the river below. The mountains at the upper end of this lake are Cold Mountain, and Panthertail, which have an altitude of 5,000 feet.

The entertainment offered to guests of this house includes boating, unsurpassed trout fishing, horseback riding, mountain elimbing, driving, and all of the regulation indoor and nearby sports and games usually found in the best equipped modern hotels. From the hotel itself, and on riding, driving and mountain-climbing trips, the scenery is unsurpassed. The water supply is from mountain springs of absolute purity, and, in addl tion, there is at the foot of Lake Tox away, at a point easily accessible from the Inn, a fine spring of water, sulphur and iron. To many visitors an abundant supply of absolutely pure water is essential, and of this they are assured at Toxaway Inn. In an editorial on October 12, 1906, the Atlanta, Constitution says: "To the man whose imagination is fed with facts and fortified with observation, the southern portion of the United States will always seem the favorite child of Omnipotence and its handmaiden Nature, Practically every resource that ministers to the wealth and greatness of a people, has been lavishly placed 'within its borders.

"Though the Creator of this full-bosomed magnificence dwells neither here nor. there but everywhere we like, in all reverence, to eall these Southern States indeed 'God's One who knows the South realizes how, after material gifts had been so generously bestowed, the designing power complet This marvelously beautiful and pic turesque region has been frequently compared to the English Lakes District to which is it not entirely dissimilar in aspect; Jut this "Lake Begion of the South" is on a much grander seals than even the beautiful English Land. Its numerous mountain, peaks. tower higher in the clouds, its cliffs are twice the height of those ia England, and its waterfalls and mountain streams come plunging down their rocky, bods from far greater distances than the English streams. Lake Toxaway, with a shore line of fifteen miles, and with an elevation of 3,100 feet above sea level; Lake Fairfield, elevation 3,300 feet, and Lake elevation 3,300 feet, are the finest sheets of water in the Southland.

Mount Toxaway, elevation 5,000 feet, is the best view-point in the region. From its summit the spectator can survey the whole of the Piedmont plateau, while in the distance can.be seen the rugged picturesque outlines of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee More than a hundred mountain peaks are visible from among them Mount Mitchell, Mount Pisgah, Old Whitesides, Babun, Panthertail, Cold Mountain and many others. The great natural beauty of the landscape of this favored region has not as yet been marred by the hand of man, his only encroachment being the erection'of high-class tourist hotels on most attractive sites, and the construction of carriage roads and horseback trails to afford the proper facilities for the enjoyment of their guests. Toxaway Inn, on Lake Toxaway, the South 's newest all-the-year tourist resort, is the largest and most modern of all the hotels of the Toxaway system, and is one of the most attractive and best equipped resort hotels in the South. Lake Toxaway has a shore margin of fifteen miles, and to be appreciated must be seen.
