In 1862, two men, John Giscome and Harry McDame , asked the Lheidli T enneh at Fort George if they knew of a good route to the Peace River Country where the men were planning to go try some gold prospecting. The natives told them about the nine mile long portage and John Giscome wrote an article about the trail that was later published in a Victoria, British Columbia Victoria newspaper. Despite the newspaper coverage, the trail saw little use until the height of the Omineca Gold Rush in 1871, when nearly 400 miners petitioned the government for the funds to build a wagon road over the portage so they could more easily travel to the Omineca gold fields. The petition was granted and the contract for building the road was given to Gustavus Blin Wright , who widened the trail at a cost of 9070. Peter Dunlevy , who operated a store at Soda Creek and Fort George, opened a store at the south end of the portage on the river.

Frog Portage or Portage du Traite was one of the most important portages on the voyageur route from eastern Canada to the Mackenzie River basin. It connects the Saskatchewan River and Churchill River Hudson Bay Churchill River basins. The route ran from Cumberland House, Saskatchewan north up the Sturgeon Weir River . 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 the Reindeer Lake Reindeer River . The route then ran at least 250 miles northwest up the Churchill to Methye Portage which led to the Mackenzie basin. For background see Canadian canoe routes early . The name is said to come from a dried frog skin that the Crees put up in derision of the Chipewayan s incompetence in preparing beaver skin. The name Traite trade comes from Frobisher s coup see below . Today there is still a plank road and push car. There is a cairn at the Churchill side.

Numerous attempts were made to build the thin Wisconsin Fox connection through the marshy land, beginning in 1837 with the formation of the Portage Canal Company . Digging and hauling by hand through two and a half miles of muddy terrain, the project was quickly abandoned. A second project, started in 1849, managed to cut a path usable by canoe, but not viable for commerce. The final project, complete with locks to raise the water level of the Fox to that of the Wisconsin s was not completed until 1876 by the Army Corps of Engineers . Unfortunately, by then, the railroads were quick on their way, followed soon thereafter by the automobile. The Portage Canal acquired a new steel gate and concrete lock in 1926 due to a rupture of the 1876 wooden gate and the quoin post of the west gate of the lock in April 1926. A local contractor, M.E.
