A Paddler's Guide to Quetico and
Beyond
Located west of Lake Superior on the Canada-U.S. border and known
to countless thousands of paddlers simply as "Canoe Country," Quetico
Provincial Park is Ontario's second-largest wilderness park. It
connects to the United States via the Boundary Waters Canoe Area,
mainland America's largest protected tract of wilderness. The area
receives over 200,000 visitors a year.
Kevin Callan is a renowned paddling personality, and his new book
describes 10 of Quetico's best trips, plus five adventurous excursions
to destinations just beyond the park's boundaries. Trips range from
weekend recreational paddles to 10-day multi-lake loops, and there
is something for every skill level. All route maps are original
and up to date, correcting many of the common errors found in other
publications.
One could spend a lifetime paddling the waters of Quetico Provincial
Park, with its more than 600 lakes and five major rivers. And with
an average portage length of only 435 yards, it's all about the
paddling.
