Quetico Provincial Park is a protected, pristine wilderness retreat of international acclaim west of Lake Superior on the Canada-U.S. border. The park’s tangled network of lakes once formed water routes traveled by Ojibway and fur traders. Now it is primarily the destination of experienced canoeists seeking solitude and rare glimpses of wildlife by cascading waterfalls, glassy lakes and endless forests. 

Quetico Provincial Park covers 4,800 square kilometers of untouched wilderness in Northern Ontario's Pre-Cambrian shield rock forest.  The Quetico Park is the second largest "natural" park in Ontario.

Canoeists can only enter Quetico Park via six access points, of which, only two are accessible by road. 

By using common sense and following these important safety tips, you can have a safe Quetico experience.

Ontario Parks has made some significant changes to its reservation policies, to close loopholes that allowed some campers to abuse the system. 

The following steps are necessary in order to protect the Quetico and to provide a quality wilderness experience for generations to come.
