Frog Portage

At its source the 300-yard Frog Portage ran, with a 20-foot drop, to Trade Lake on the Churchill a few miles west of the mouth of Reindeer River.

The route then ran at least 250 miles northwest up the Churchill to Methye Portage which led to the Mackenzie basin.

In 1777 Joseph Frobisher returned, but the HBC sent Robert Davey inland and he managed to ensure that the furs reached Hudson Bay.

In 1774 Joseph Frobisher first intercepted a Chipewyan trading party here en route from Lake Athabasca to the Hudson's Bay post at Churchill.

Thenceforth, for over fifty years this was an important part of the principal transcontinental canoe route of trade and exploration."
