The following walking tour was developed as a result of a summer student project, in 1996, to make a walking/hiking trail along the shores of Lake Temiskaming that would link the downtown boardwalk along the harbour to Devil's Rock and Buvke Park. The history along Mill Creek is important to the early development of the area. C.C.Farr operated a saw mill on Mill Creek that provided lumber for most of the early buildings in town and the trail provided a connection between North Cobalt and Haileybury. The Haileybury Heritage Museum hopes to have a walking tour booklet developed this summer that visitors and local residents can pick up at the Museum and use it to spend a leisurely afternoon exploring some of Temiskaming's past. From the bottom of Albert Street, turn south on second road till it turns east. About 300 ft to the west there is the #1. "Old Clay Pit" or place where earth was taken to make bricks for buildings in Haileybury after the Great Fire of 1922. The name of the brick factory was the Ontario Brick Company. A.J. Murphy owned the factory which was situated in what was then called Lawlortown. Remnants of the factory were still around until the Town of Haileybury decided to make a Centennial Park. The bricks were then picked up and discarded.

Following along the road east, you come to the lake; Turn right to cross a creek and continue up the hill to the south. Just about at the top of the hill there is a road that takes you west into the area of the #2. "Original Haileybury Cemetery". It had been upgraded and a number of headstones have been placed in a circular shaped cairn. There are still a number of unaccountable stones in the surrounding area.

Travel along the road to the west and you come to #3."Mill Creek". that originally had a bridge across it which took you to the easterly extension of North Cobalt's Lakeview Avenue and to what is now called "Proctor's". The old Argyle Mine on Lake Temiskaming is situated near this location. Coming back to Mill Creek, the footings for the #4. "Bridge" were in evidence a few years ago. Travelling southwest along the creek about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile brings you to the #5."Head Pond" where logs were kept to supply #6."C.C.Farr's Mill" which made the lumber for the building of the Town of Haileybury. After walking west, turn south to where the elevation rises and to a series of rapids. It was on these rapids that a #7."Log chute" was built. It was approximately 6 feet wide and 200 feet long. Remnants of it can still be noticed along the bank of the creek. Continue to follow the creek north, cross the South Lorrain Road and you will come up where #8."St. Joseph's Boys Collage used to be.

Return east to the mouth of the creek were, at the head of the rapids, the ground here levels off. Travelling south from Mill Creek (Farr Creek) on an old roadway, is a scenic walk along the escarpment which ends at rhe #9."Argyle Mine". Continue south along the escarpment brings you to #10. "Bucke Park".
