timatkn	07/21/2018 07:44PM Depending on where you are staying you might be able to have an outfitter issue your permit the day/night before. I just used Doug at Canadian Quetico Outfitters for shuttle from Stanton and Camp Quetico to stay the PM before, both offered to issue me my permit the night before. T

" If I remember correctly, if you get to the office in Atikokan by 3 the day before, you can pick up your permit for the next day. They close shortly thereafter (around 4 or 4:15) so it's a tight window. As stated above, the best option is to call the office to get their hours for the week/weekend to make sure.
TomT	07/21/2018 03:20PM I was hoping to pick up my permit the night before my entry date. Has anyone done this in Atikoken? I've heard stories of people doing this at Dawson Trail.
marsonite	07/20/2018 03:17PM Called the main office....you can pick up a permit there 7 days a week.
billconner	07/20/2018 08:16AM I am not doubting the above info but I suggested calling because this is what I found online and have my doubts. Perhaps winter hours, perhaps things change.
Eyedocron	07/19/2018 07:49PM Very nice people, and convenient for the northern entries. If you want a very early entry, it is not like they open at 7 AM
marsonite	07/19/2018 07:46PM Thanks. I seem to recall picking one up on Saturday before, but try as I might, I couldn't find their hours. I called and their message didn't say anything about Saturday. I can call tomorrow, but I hate to wait and lose out on a permit. I though there were plenty, until I went to reserve one and realized I had to click "non resident" and suddenly there weren't so many days available.
old_salt	07/19/2018 07:33PM Their hours are posted on the door. Or online. 9-6 on Saturday.
billconner	07/19/2018 07:28PM I dont know. Call them. Worst case 8s Dawson Creek, about a half hour each way.
marsonite	07/19/2018 07:00PM So I am assuming I can pick up a Quetico Permit on Saturday at the main office? Having trouble finding their hours.
