OldGreyGoose	07/19/2014 10:36AM The beach put-in. Very short carry up to the parking lot from there. (Sorry if the picture is a little blurred.) --Goose

It has the added security of regular patrols by the Park Rangers. btw, the CG is very nice w/ hot showers. We use it the nite before we enter, as it puts us right at the entry point early in the morning.

The Stanton Bay entry on Pickerel is one spot where non-residents can't park.....but it's more of an exception than a rule." Stanton Bay is the only entry where non-residents can't park. All other entries are fine. Non-residents can use Stanton Bay as long as they are using services from a Canadian outfitter.

PINETREE	07/13/2014 09:53PM As long as were on the subject,is French lake campground a nice campground area for camping?

old_salt	07/13/2014 09:24AM There is a parking lot at French Lake.
waywardsoul	07/13/2014 07:33AM Hi all, I'm not a stranger to the BWCA messageboard, just finally got around to making my own account. I'm heading with my dad to the Northern section of Quetico for the first time (we typically go to the BWCA, or enter Quetico through one of the southern entrances). I've been doing some reading, and it looks like parking overnight for non-residents can be tricky? We will be entering through Pickerel Lake (entry #12). Are there specific parking lots or areas where non-residents can park? Or does it even make a difference? Thanks!
