Nine Mile Portage : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nine Mile Portage The Nine Mile Portage is an ancient aboriginal trail used as a shortcut into the upper Canadian Great Lakes. The trail stretches from Kempenfelt Bay in Lake Simcoe to the Willow Landing, Willow Creek, and then the Nottawasaga River, which finally leads out to Wasaga Beach on Georgian Bay.〔http://www.herontrips.com/9Mile.html〕 ==Barrie and Fort Willow== The trail is based on an ancient overland route created by the early aboriginal people of the Barrie and Fort Willow area. The route appears on an old European 1688 map by Italian Vincenzo Coronelli labelled as 'Portage de dix Lieuel'. The portage was known as the 'Nine Mile Portage' by the British Military, which employed it strategically during the War of 1812 to relieve a British military garrison in Michilimackinac. After the war, it was used as a rough wagon road for transporting supplies to Penetanguishene and the western military and fur trading outposts.
