Scenes on the Cascapediac River, Lower Canada: Piko Hill, above Middle Camp, 1881. Engraving from a sketch by Lord Archibald Campbell, brother of the Marquis of Lorne, Governor-General of Canada. As for the Cascapediac, a famous salmon river amidst picturesque and romantic foreign scenery, its geographical situation has been explained to lie in that part of the Province of Quebec, on the right or east shore of the wide estuary of the St. Lawrence...The peninsula of Gaspé, in which this territory ends on the shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is...inviting to the tourist and to the sportsman. The more particular topography of the Cascapediac, which runs southward into Chaleur Bay, was described by our correspondent "Sonachen;" he noticed the successive camps or stations formed by the Marquis of Lorne's party up this river; first "Woodman's," thirteen miles from the sea, where the lower camp was established; and the conical mountain "Piko", which is 1000 ft. high, and covered with dense wood; then, still farther up, "Middle Camp," "Trackety," "Indian Falls," "Lazy Bogan," and "Lake Branch," with the best pools and casts for salmon, and possibilities of getting sight of moose'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
