08/09/2007 09:48PM Echolcomb, you should get Beymer's Quetico guide. I have it and like it. But be forewarned that it's not as detailed as his BW guides. And it's a little dated . . . more in the pictures and production values than in the information, fortunately. Regardless, it's a very good way to get an overview of entry points and how that all works in Quetico. The key to remember, whether using Beymer's BW or Q guides, is that the books are just a place to get initial ideas. Then get out your maps and plan something a little different. And then get on the water and do something a little different from what you planned. It's an adventure, after all. One thing about Beymer is that I find his days are on the slightly ambitious side. I can do them, but I don't want to do them day after day. If you're like me (maybe you are, maybe you aren't), when you use Beymer to start planning, figure on a little extra time. I think this is even more true of his Quetico guide than his BW guide, though it applies to both. |

08/09/2007 11:35AM It all depends on what you are seeking. There are no bad trips in the Q... there are some however with rough portages! |

08/09/2007 09:49AM We are thinking towards next June, From what I've read on this forum, it sounds like the Falls Chain to Kawnipi is a nice trip. We are looking for fishing, photo ops, and few people, but who isn't. I think I will have to get a copy of Breymers Quetico book. |

08/08/2007 10:25PM Man, Falls, Monument, and Boundary all have their own. Man, falls, and Boundary are all accessed over silver falls portage and Saganagons Lake... Huh? Those are the permits issued at the Cache Bay Ranger Station on Sag. |

08/08/2007 08:50AM Are you thinking about this for this year, echolcomb? Rumor has it that there are many unused Quetico permits this year, for whatever reason. So you should call and find out what's available on the dates you want. |

08/08/2007 07:47AM The Sag entry is not just the falls chain. It's also the Man Chain, Boundary Point, and Monument Portage. |

08/07/2007 11:31PM The entry you choose into Quetico depends on what kind of trip you want......what your interests are.... all are good, the Sag entry does limit you to the Falls Chain....if thats what you want to do. Kawnipi is a good destination. What do you have in mind for your trip?

08/07/2007 08:29AM You can also catch a tow into LLC or catch a lift into Beaverhouse on the western side. |

08/07/2007 07:58AM The southern entry stations are Cache Bay on Sag and Prairie Portage on Basswood. You will need to stop at one of those two if crossing the border from the south. |

08/07/2007 07:37AM After 6 trips to the BW I think we've decided to head over the border. Where is our best bet for entry? Across the Sag and on into Quetico. I realize we'll need a RABC and Quetico permit, but the real question is where should we enter, or where can you enter from the US side? |
