Temiscouata "Grand" Portage anyone?
The Temiscouata Portage began in the late 1600's as a combined canoe and footpath route leading from the Bay of Fundy, up the Saint John River to its confluence with the Madawaska River, up the Madawaska River to Lake Temiscouata, across the Lake, and over a rocky 50-kilometre stretch known as the "Grand Portage" to the St. Lawrence River at Notre Dame du Portage above Rivière du Loup.
Greetings,
Are there any members in Quebec/NB/ONT that have hunted this area before? I see alot of farmland in the area!
If so, what sort of finds have you had?
Please share!
The Portage proved not only useful, but indispensable, to the British during the War of 1812. Large bodies of troops passed over the route during the winter months; one regiment made a famous march by snowshoe in early in 1813. It was also used to move troops during the rebellions of Lower Canada in 1837, and by the 1840's, had been improved to the point that it could be traversed by sleighs.
If I was any closer, I'd be all over those fields on the old road aka. Le Grand Portage.
