During the height of the fur trade, French Canadian voyageurs transported furs by canoe from the Canadian interior to commercial merchants in Montreal. The crux of the journey was an 8.5-mile portage connecting the lake country of southwest Ontario to Lake Superior, where loads were transferred to larger canoes for the trip across the Great Lakes. Relive history by hiking the Grand Portage Trail from Superior to historic Fort Charlotte.
