Historic Portage.
With
14,498 acres of public land to explore in and around the Portage area, 11
locations on the National Register of Historic Places, 14 city parks, wonderful
shopping and recreation for all seasons you are sure to find something to do. The geographical distinction of Portage lies in its unique location between the Fox River, flowing north to the St. Laurence and Wisconsin River which flows south to the Mississippi. This narrow neck of land was portaged for centuries by Native Americans and then by missionaries, trappers, traders, adventurers and settlers. In modern times...it is a lot easier for you to visit the Portage area! A modern highway system including two interstate highways and several state highways service the Portage area and cross the historic Wisconsin River, Fox River and the Portage Canal. If you are flying in, Portage has a modern airport. And if you wish to travel in the traditional, historic way...we still have those two famous rivers! So...now that you know..."you can get here from there"...come to Portage! Visit the Portage area businesses that are featured in PortageSuperMall. You will be glad you did! |
