Quetico is primarily a wilderness
canoeing park. There are 2,200 backcountry (interior) campsites,
accessible by canoe, scattered around the park on over 600
lakes.
Canoeists can enter the park at six access points, where
ranger stations sell park permits and offer more information,
including detailed maps of the park.
Each of the six entry stations offers a different park experience:
Dawson Trail Ranger Station (40 km east of Atikokan) and Atikokan
Ranger Station (in the town of Atikokan) are the only park
stations accessible by car.
Cache Bay and Prairie Portage Ranger Stations border Minnesota.
Lac La Croix Entry Station is right by the Lac La Croix First
Nations Reserve, and both Beaverhouse and the Lac La Croix
entry stations are staffed by members of the Lac La Croix
First Nations Band.
Contact the park at (807) 597-2735 in advance to receive
trip planning information by mail. Each park access station
can issue a limited number of camping permits.
Visitors entering Quetico directly from the United States
must obtain a Remote Area Border Crossing Permit from Canada
Immigration (or by mail from Canada Customs) before crossing.
