~ history of the Grass River trail (
visit link) ~
This trail follows The Grass River, the key waterway in the late 1700's fur trade route known as the Upper Track. Aboriginal people, who had travelled this route for thousands of years, showed traders from Hudson Bay, that they could reach the Saskatchewan River and the interior of western Canada by this route. Along the Grass, competition between the "Bay" men and North West Company traders was intense during 1790s and early 1800's as both companies vied for the bulk of the furs.
