It has been a number of years since I last entered Quetico on a self-issued permit. However, I've only done that "post" season rather than "pre" season. I, in fact, have done this through Prairie Portage, but that was a long time ago. I filled out the self-issue permit and since you have to pay the daily camping fee (per person), I simply wrote my credit card information on the form (rather than guess at the amount of cash required) and added it to the drop box at the kiosk near the ranger station. If I were to do this again, I think I would call the reservation line, or better yet, the park headquarters office in Atikokan, and confirm that the self-issue permit option is available at Prairie Portage and what, if any changes have been implemented.

My wife and I are planning to go to the Quetico for a 12-day trip starting on May 10th. We will be entering from the BWCA via the Prairie Portage. Am I correct in assuming that we will just need to self-issue a permit and payment at the ranger station? It appears I can't reserve any permits online until May 17th. I also understand we'll need a RABC permit. Is there anything I'm missing that will prohibit us from doing this trip? We've only stayed on the BWCA side, so we're very much looking forward to venturing into the Quetico. I welcome any insight into what it may be like this time of year. Though it has been a very warm winter, so it could look different than years past. |

TZ WOOPS!! Tried the system using your dates and discovered the May 17 restriction you describe. Have you tried to reserve by phone? Reservation numbers. |
