The Carlton Trail was the primary land transportation route in the Canadian Northwest for most of the 19th century, connecting Fort Carlton to Edmonton along a line of intermediate places. It was part of a trail network that stretched from the Red River Colony through Fort Ellice and today's Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan. From there the trail ran north and crossed the South Saskatchewan River near Batoche, Saskatchewan and reached Fort Carlton on the North Saskatchewan River. From there, it ran west on the north side of the river to Fort Edmonton at what is now Edmonton, Alberta.

  • The Carlton Trail was the primary land transportation route in the Canadian Northwest for most of the 19th century, connecting Fort Carlton to Edmonton along a line of intermediate places. It was part of a trail network that stretched from the Red River Colony through Fort Ellice and today's Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan. From there the trail ran north and crossed the South Saskatchewan River near Batoche, Saskatchewan and reached Fort Carlton on the North Saskatchewan River. From there, it ran west on the north side of the river to Fort Edmonton at what is now Edmonton, Alberta. An alternative, the South Victoria Trail, ran on a more direct route to and from Edmonton, on the south side of the River, following the line of the old telegraph line. A length of it still survives, at the old Krebs homestead east of Fort Saskatchewan. The distance in total the trail traveled between Fort Garry (Winnipeg) to Upper Fort des Prairies (Edmonton) was approximately 900 miles (1,450 km). Many smaller trails jutted off from the main trail, such as the Fort à la Corne Trail in the Saskatchewan Valley. Connecting the west, the trail was of great importance during the 19th century as a highway for travellers. Different sections of the trail were known by different names in different eras, including The Company, Saskatchewan, Fort Ellice Trail, Winnipeg Trail, Edmonton Trail, and Victoria Trail. Historical accounts record that it took about two months to travel by Red River cart from Fort Garry to Edmonton along the Carlton Trail. The main mode of transport along the trail was by horse-drawn Red River Cart. It was an integral route for Métis freighters, and Hudson's Bay Company employees as well as the earliest white settlers. With the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the late 1880s across the southern Prairies, and the numerous branch lines that followed, such as the Calgary and Edmonton Railway, the trail decreased in importance. By the early 1900s many portions of its length had been fenced off where it bisected plots of agricultural land, but sections of the trail, such as Victoria Trail in Edmonton and a length near Victoria Settlement, remain in use to this day. The use of the trail was designated an Event of National Historic Significance in 1972. (en)
  • La ruta Carlton (del inglés: Carlton Trail), también traducido como sendero, senda, camino o pista Carlton, fue la principal ruta de transporte terrestre que durante la mayor parte del siglo XIX conectaba las diferentes partes del Noroeste de Canadá. La ruta se extendía desde la hasta lo que hoy es , via . Desde aquí el sendero corría hacia el norte y cruzaba el río Saskatchewan Sur, cerca de , hasta llegar a , a orillas del río Saskatchewan Norte. Desde este punto la ruta seguía hacia el oeste continuando por el valle del río hasta (en lo que ahora es Edmonton, Alberta). La distancia total en el camino recorrido entre Fort Garry (Winnipeg) hasta el Upper Fort des Prairies (en Edmonton) era de aproximadamente 1.500 km. De la pista principal salían muchas rutas menores, como el sendero a (Fort à la Corne Trail) en el . Este camino, que conectaba con el oeste, fue de gran importancia durante el siglo XIX como carretera para los habitantes de la región. Las distintas secciones de la ruta fueron conocidas a lo largo del tiempo por muchos nombres diferentes, como The Company Trail, Saskatchewan Trail, Fort Ellice Trail, Winnipeg Trail, Edmonton Trail o Victoria Trail. El principal medio de transporte a lo largo del camino fue el carromato del río Rojo (Red River Cart) y se decía que el trayecto completo con un carromato de bueyes empleaba cerca de dos meses. Fue una ruta integral para los porteadores métis y los empleados de la Compañía de la Bahía de Hudson, así como para los primeros colonos blancos. Con la llegada de la Canadian Pacific Railway a finales de 1880, y de los numerosos ramales que la siguieron, la ruta fue perdiendo poco a poco importancia. A principios de la década de 1900 muchas partes fueron cercadas, aunque otras secciones locales de la pista se mantuvieron en uso hasta finales de la década de 1930. El uso de la ruta fue designado como en el año 1972.​ (es)
