Pictographs found in Quetico Park

Pictographs can be found along the waterline of Quetico Provincial Park lakes.

We are just a few minutes away from the Saganaga landing, which is the starting point for those interested in a canoe trip to the Quetico Park of Ontario. The Quetico is considered more remote than the BWCAW and you are more on your own. You may select your own campsites, which do not have a fire grate or wilderness latrine as in the BWCAW. The Quetico abounds with smallmouth bass and walleye, and most canoeists see eagles, ospey, moose, beaver and loons. You have four entry point choices when entering the Quetico Park from Saganaga, and each has a very limited number of daily permits.
