Sturgeon-Weir River

Sturgeon-Weir River

The Sturgeon-Weir River connects the Saskatchewan River at Cumberland House and the Churchill River systems via the Frog Portage. It is part of the historic voyageur fur trade route from the Great Lakes to the Rocky Mountains and the Arctic. Alexander Mackenzie documented some rapids on the river in the 1790's.
