Quetico Provincial Park
Discover all the beauty this expansive area has to offer with Anderson’s Canoe Outfitters – your trusted partner for an unforgettable adventure.
Canada’s Quetico Provincial Park is over a million acres of rugged beauty, pristine rivers & lakes, ancient pictographs, and magnificent waterfalls. Situated along the border waters of Minnesota’s BWCA Wilderness and Ontario, Quetico offers breathtaking canoe camping, unrivaled fishing, and incredible wildlife viewing.
While operating on a system of entry requirements similar to the BWCAW, Quetico also requires passport check-in at Canadian Customs on Sand Point Lake – the first shuttle stop after leaving the Crane Lake dock. At the end of trips, boat shuttle parties who checked in to Canadian Customs are required to check back into the U.S. on iPad tablets located at the Anderson’s Canoe Outfitters shop.
We’ll help you plan a seamless Quetico trip. Along with shuttle services and canoe & camp equipment rentals, Anderson’s offers E-mapping routes via Paddle Planner and lodging referrals for the Pine Ridge Motel, conveniently located across the road from the shop.
Let Anderson’s Canoe Outfitters reserve your Quetico permit on your behalf for $25. IMPORTANT: Contact us for shuttle availability prior to reserving your own permit.
