Nature
Quetico Provincial Park is a vast wilderness in northwestern Ontario along the Minnesota border, joined to the Boundary Waters as the core of the Quetico-Superior canoe country. Its more than 600 lakes, rivers, and portages cross ancient Canadian Shield bedrock, while road access came only in 1954, helping preserve its remoteness. First inhabited about 8000 BC, the region also preserves deep Indigenous history, including rock art, and later became the site of injustice when Ontario removed the Lac La Croix First Nation from Reserve 24C in 1915 before apologizing in 1991. Strict wilderness rules, bans on logging and most motorized travel, and rich boreal habitats define the park today.
