03/01/2022 08:46PM The Chrismar makes a great backup and like someone said - their portages are usually right where they have them on the map. I use MacKenzie to navigate but always compare portage markings with the Chrismar before the trip. This is a book worth having. Quetico and Beyond Kevin Callen |

03/01/2022 04:57PM Rap… I suggest getting the Fisher map book. It has every map of Quetico and the BWCA. It’s a great book for every paddler to have at home for planning future canoe trips. It’s not a book to take in the canoe. After you have your permit, you can buy trip-specific navigation maps from Fisher or McKenzie. McKenzie’s scale is slightly larger with a bit more detail, but both maps are good for tripping through Quetico. Chrismar is a good planning map, too, but for navigation, the scale is pretty small. If you want to travel to Madison, WI the weekend of March 11-13, take in Canoecopia. Lots of good gear deals, as well as speakers and presentations on all things paddling. |

03/01/2022 11:33AM Planning a Quetico trip this June. Have been in BWCA lots but not Quetico for decades. Does anyone know of a guidebook for the park? Don't see anything in the "books" tab of this site. Also where do you get Quetico maps -- same suppliers as for BWCA? |
