Voyageurs

Huron Shore Trail
follows the geologic Algonquin Beach Ridge formation along the western shore of Lake Huron from the Straits of Mackinac to Saginaw Bay. For centuries this trail was the primary travel route for Chippewa people travelling between Saginaw Bay wintering grounds and summer fishing and hunting grounds in the Straits area.
Voyageurs
were boatmen employed by the fur companies in the Great Lakes region in transporting trade goods and passengers to and from trading posts. Voyageurs surely stopped in the mouth of the Cheboygan River on their way to Fort Michilimackinac.
Mackinac Boats
are a fusion of the efficient double-ended Chippewa birch bark canoe and European sailing vessel construction and is unique to the Straits of Mackinac. Mackinac boats originated in the late 1700s and became a favored mode of travel in the Upper Great Lakes.
