We will need an RABC for about $30. Is that one permit for the group or $30/person? If we get an RABC permit and add someone to the trip late, do they need to be added to the permit? Looks like if we head north to Lac La Croix there are a few campsites that are not in Quetico. Do we need any kind of permit for these sites? Quetico permits are about $17/person/night, right? |

You will need a crownland camping permit to camp in Ontario outside of the Quetico. These are available online. |

When you say a night or two in Canada, do you mean in Quetico Provincial Park, or somewhere else in Canada? If in Quetico, you'll need a Quetico permit. If in crownland around Quetico, a crownland permit. The website Quetico100 is a great resource for this information. Contrary to some views, you'll also need a permit to re-enter the BWCAW. If overnight on both sides of your Canada visit, then both overnight. Else you could use a day paddle for one side or the other if going directly to or returning directly from Canada at beginning or end of trip. Fishing is a whole other issue, but suffice it to say that you need to meet all the Ontario regulations to fish in Ontario - outdoor card and license - each member over 17 (I think - check age). I've done it and not all that hard but does take a little effort. |

Touring/camping, fishing, each require different agency permitting. butthead |

BTW, remember not to cross the border just to say you were in Canada. That, too, could cost you a lot of money. Better to portage say at Bottle Portage where you are legal to cross but are in Canada. |

(Also, with the RABC, it makes a difference if its all in the family - one RABC - or a unrelated group - each required to have their own.) |
