Mountain Portage
The Mountain Portage went around Kakabeka Falls on the canoe route from Lake Superior to Lake of the Woods; it was first recorded in 1688 by Jacques de Noyon and rediscovered by Roderick McKenzie in 1798, and a plaque was unveiled on 14 July 1962.[1]
Users from 1803 included Simon McGillivray, David Thompson, Sir George Simpson, Simon J. Dawson and Colonel Wolseley.[1]
