There are five northern Quetico entries to choose from, each different in their own way. Buy a few maps or books and look at your options. It costs more to camp in Quetico since you pay a daily fee per person. Otherwise it’s a great place. Tom |

We'd like to paddle for five or six days and have 1-2 days layover if we happen upon a nice spot or if weather requires it. Nothing too grueling, while she loves the outdoors and has been canoe camping, she's never done the BWCA or Quetico. And I want this friend to go with me again. Don't care it it's loop, out and back, partial loop with a shuttle, or requires a tow in. I am OK with a bit of burn area, but on my last trip we entered on Lake One, paddled to the northern end of Insula and then back the same way we came. That felt depressing to me as most of the paddling seemed to be in burn area. I know it's part of the forest cycle. It still makes me sad. Where should we go? |

We crossed the border at International Falls/Ft. Frances, stayed in Ft. Frances overnight and parked at Beaverhouse, looping back. While we were never really that far from the park border, it seemed very remote and we only saw maybe two or three other groups that week (late May). |

Camp Quetico was also great for us year prior. Those are the two I’d recommend. You’ve got a ton of options and wouldn’t be in a lot of burn areas in the north. Ryan |
