Lakeport
Is pleasantly situated on the west bank of Clear Lake. The place is reached from San Francisco via Calistoga, thence by stage sixty-five miles, over which route a tri-weekly mail is carried. It is also connected by stage and mail with Cloverdale, in Sonoma County. The lands of the valley and surrounding hills contributory to Lakeport are well adapted to agriculture and grazing, furnishing a constant and increasing resource; but the distance from market and the absence of railroad communication, are great drawbacks to the producers. This is a pleasant resort for visitors seeking health and pleasure, boating, , fishing, and duck shooting on the lake, and quail and deer-shooting in the hills, offer tempting invitations to the sportsman. One newspaper, the Clear Lake Courier, is published weekly.

On newspaper, the Bulletin, is published weekly.
