"Northern Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park is known for its beautiful wilderness. We’ve stayed at the campground a few times now, here's our review and comprehensive visitor guide! We had an amazing time at Quetico, which is a HUGE provincial park in Northwestern Ontario. It's the biggest, most remote park we’ve been to, with a massive network of over 2000 lakes, making it perfect for canoeing. The park is also known for its virgin pine forests, majestic waterfalls, and rock cliffs."
"Beautiful, peaceful park. Great fishing, beautiful river to kayak or canoe. Spend a day paddling the river out to the pines beach, wind permitting! This momma moose had two calves playing on the river's edge. Friendly staff always keeping the restrooms guest ready. First timers there, will definitely be back."
"Nice day use area at the Dawson Trail entrance near the beach. Information office has lots of information and memorabilia. There was a Bear alert warning when we visited so we were carefull to keep watch, but we didn't see any bears or evidence of their presence."
