"Only one main road leads to the lake, that from the small town of Pettigo, four miles distant. This road ends at the ferry, where there is a house and a few other buildings. No road, and not even a defined path, goes around the lake. There are the remains of some ruined homesteads on the southern shores; but in all that rolling expanse of barren hill and moorland, in which this water is set, only a couple of houses are visible. These dwellings look like white dots in the hills; they are far away from one another and approached by paths invisible from and distance, so that they seem to emphasize the uninhabited character of this whole region."
