At the end of the 19th and early 20th Century, Pierre-Paul River was used especially in the spring (or during large floods) for timber transport by flotation this which involved activities loggers or "cageux".
At the end of the 19th century, an ice road was laid from December to March on Pierre-Paul River to flow more easily to woodlots or to Saint-Tite before the land routes are sufficiently carossables especially to cross the streams.
