Visited last Year (2006) at the urging of my brother-in-law who has visited many times. We spent eight days canoeing and fishing in June. I had a great time, though a novice when it came to canoeing, I am comming back in June again this year (hopefully). I have visited Canada many times and have several friends from Alberta to Ontario. I have hunted moose and fished for pike, walleye (pickerell) and bass. We have great country where I live, but I feel Canada and the Quetico area in paticular are more conscious of their stewardship of wilderness areas. I love the tranquility of the area. We heard and saw Loons, Bald Eagles, Moose, Black Bear, Otters, Woodpeckers, rodents of every description. My hosts thought the fishing poor, I loved it. We had plenty to eat and quality was very satisfying over quantity. We paddled in for several miles and everyone we met were congenial and the rangers very efficient. I appreciated the fact they were patroling off the beaten path as well as the higher use areas. Although I would have prefered to paddle less and fish more, I am anxious to return.

It is so peaceful up there. I absolutely love it. I love to get away from school, work, and other people if only for a week. If I could I would move there. Everything about it is beautiful from the loons to the night sky and the fog and glossy water on a nice cool morning.

It's a wonderful site, full of a wealth of information for all who have been or wish to come to the Quetico and or BWCA. 1957 was the first year I came and have been returning off and on ever since.

Quetico is the love of my life. I go every July and I know I'm addicted. I started going 7yrs ago with my highschool and now I take the students through the park. It's and experience words cannot describe. I came across this site and just wanted to rave to other enthusiasts. Thanks

Saw an adult bear swimming across Birch Lake at noon on August 22. We were about 200 yards away. No bear problems at our camp site. Looking forward to another trip in mid-September during peak fall colors.

I came across your site while searching for BWCA images. Wow, what an impressive site! We are going to Ely in October. We wanted to visit some outfitters to get a good feel for canoeing in this area. Your site answered many of my questions and concerns. I was very excited about this wilderness area, but now I am a little scared, especially after reading about the bears. I am having some second thoughts, but at least I'm cautious. You don't make it sound all positive and a good dose of reality is what two amateurs need to hear.
