Once again I seek the collective experience and wisdom of you all. While I have 30+ trips in the BW, my paddle partner and I have never been to Quetico and would like to venture there next summer. I know we each need our passport. We would like to be out 7-10 days. Route suggestions? Entry point suggestion? Any other helpful suggestions? Thank you! |

7 - 10 days is a good amount of time. With a remote Border Pass you could make a loop out of Prairie portage up into Sarah, McIntyre, & Brent or Kashapiwi, Keefer & Cairn. From the west side with a tow across Lac Lacroix you could enter at Bottle or McAree and go into Darkey, Brent and out at Prairie Portage. Lots of variations possible in these routes. Some wild country, good fishing, possible side trips into remote areas. |

quote old_salt: "Consider any of the northern entry points and loop options available. Fewer people, cheaper costs, and fantastic fishing." even with cheaper fees going in from the north, wouldnt the additional gas make it a wash? especially if you have to buy a tank in canada. of couse, this is coming from a single payer though. (solo) but then again, you wouldnt need a canpass. |

So we have no overnight outside Q. For post trip shower options, the city campground in AtiKokan or French Lake are two good options. |
