How is the fishing south of Nym? |

The first Nym to Nym loop has a bunch of nice smaller lakes with a few large ones. There is a fairly long portage between Fern and Olifaunt. The second has more large lakes and has some nice camping areas on the big lakes. You can't go wrong with the Maria-Jesse-Elizabeth-Walter Lonely chain...they are beautiful smaller lakes. Solitude won't be an issue in Quetico, that's one of it's best features! |

jparks02: "Anyone have an outfitter recommendation to this area? Also is Atikokan an area you would recommend spending a couple days at either at the beginning or end of a canoe trip? " Canoe Canada Outfitters is in Atikokan. Most of the time, we'll stay in a motel in Atikokan (White Otter Inn) the night before we go into Q. We'll get there mid-afternoon, pick up our permit and settle in for the night, then get an early start in the morning so we're paddling before the wind picks up. There are nice people there and a few things to see, but the town itself probably isn't a destination to hang out in for any extended period of time. |

I could offer suggestions forever but in the end, you need to pick. Paddler's Guide to Quetico Provincial Park |

tumblehome: "You have a million options. The solitude issue won't be a problem. I've done a lot of canoeing in the Q. When I first got started in Quetico camping, I used Robert Beymer's book for my first 8 trips or so. I would really suggest his book for your next trip. It will help you in so many ways. Yes, I couldn't agree more. You will be able to tailor your trip to your liking. I used it for my first couple of trips. You could also have a destination lake, like Brent or Susanette, which would handle your grand slam opportunities while still providing for a travel type trip as well with various routes in and out. |

I am looking for recommendations on routes for four people, eight days in Quetico - June 2019 - with the following characteristics: Some smaller lakes mixed in (my wife's favorite) Grand Slam opportunities Scenery, solitude I have only been to Q through Bottle portage. Looking for other suggestions. Nothing is off the table at this point! Thank you! |
