Portaging from the Fox River to the Wisconsin, they paddled down the Mississippi as far as the mouth of the Arkansas River. Nine years later the French explorer René-Robert Cavelier, sieur (lord) de La Salle, reached the delta itself, having opened the even-easier portage from the Great Lakes via the Illinois River.
