How to Get There

from Port Arthur, Duluth, and Winnipeg to Athabasca Landing. Mirror Landing is where the Lesser Slave Lake joins the Athabasca River. At Mirror Landing there is a small portage or "Carry" overland by an excellent wagon trail for fifteen miles to Norris Landing. This wagon transport is operated by the navigation company, and the trip is made to avoid the Rapids. From Norris Landing to Grouard is a 75-mile run by another steamer, which makes connections.
IN THE WINTER SEASON (about November 15th to March 31st) – CANADIAN NORTHERN RAILWAY
