Wildlife Viewing
The park abounds in wildlife with one area boasting four moose
per square mile, one of the highest densities in the province.
The canoeist stands an excellent chance of seeing moose, beaver,
otter, marten and the bald eagle (common in Quetico, but rare
elsewhere). There are red squirrels, chipmunks, beaver and
mink as well as 90 species of birds nesting here.
Boating
Motorboats are not permitted on the lakes and waterways of
Quetico Park, except in the Lac La Croix and Beaverhouse area.
Only the Lac La Croix Guides are permitted to use motorboats,
limited to 10 horsepower motors or smaller, a maximum of four
per day, and only on 10 lakes.
Swimming
At Dawson Trail Campground, visitors can swim at beaches along
the shore of French Lake. Of course, visitors to the interior
will find many opportunities to take a dip.
Cycling
Cycling is permitted in Dawson Trail Campground but not on
hiking trails.
Winter Activities
Quetico is being used more and more for winter camping, snowshoeing,
cross-country skiing and ice fishing. There are no groomed
trails and snowmobiles are prohibited.
