Fort Smith used to be a major transportation site. Goods were brought up to the nearby community of Fort Fitzgerald, Alberta and portaged on land to avoid four sets of unpassable rapids (Pelican, Portage, Casette and the Rapids of the Drowned). The goods were then placed back into the water at the Slave River in Fort Smith where they travelled north, all the way along other rivers (such as the Mackenzie River) to destinations as far away as the Arctic Coast. Of course the construction of roads (the main one from the south being the Mackenzie Highway with connections to Hay River, Northwest Territories) have put Fort Smith out of the water transportation business.
