"Little Metis station, 90 miles from Rivière du Loup, is the stopping place from which to reach the well known watering place of Little Metis, situated on the shore about six miles from the railway. It is a resort that has been greatly developed of recent years, and its popularity is increasing each season. There are several large hotels, and a number of wealthy Canadians have made it their summer home." From Forest, Stream and Seashore, The Intercolonial Railway, August 1901.
