Michipicoten Trail

Less is known of the Michipicoten Trail. Patrick Kelly refers to the Michipicoten Mail Service between Michipicoten Harbour and the Puckasaw Depot and states that it ran one month delivering letters, the courier being Jack Legarde (P. Kelly, I,i, 276-283; 306-314). Harry Bussineau's account of a buying trip with George Coutu to the Pukaskwa area seems to refer to a coastal route. He describes it thus: "On the way up we had a toboggan and we carried our snowshoes and our packsacks and stuff on the toboggan. On the way back, we came to Point Isacor over here and that's where this ice was all gone, eh. From there, they were obliged to go inland through the "mountains" to Michipicoten Harbour (Bussineau, II,iv, 0-28)." Other than these references, nothing else was discovered regarding the Michipicoten Trail.
