In his explorations of the Great Lakes, LaSalle used the unfrozen lakes and rivers as the most efficient mode of transportation. The Native Americans were already using portage trails to move between waterways that were not directly connected.

One such portage took Lasalle's 1680 expedition from the St. Joseph River on Lake Michigan to the Kankakee River near South Bend, Indiana. From there, they could travel to the Illinois River and thence to the Mississippi River, which they did in 1682, claiming the Mississippi valley for France.
