Ely Minnesota and Boundary Waters offer great vacation packages into Quetico Park.

A canoe trip is experiencing your piece of pristine wilderness. Quetico Park in Northwestern Ontario is an internationally renowned canoe area of over 4655 square kilometers. Among its tangled network of jeweled lakes and rivers lies a land of dazzling cliffs and spectacular waterfalls.

Quetico Park is north of Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Ely Minnesota. It's well known that the further north you go into Quetico - the further you paddle into wilderness.

Atikokan is the forgotten side of Quetico. The best thing is - it's hard to get to.

Quetico Park is a unique wildlife santuary.

It's the perfect location for a piecefull weekend getaway or a month long sojourn. The unparalleled variety of lakes in Quetico made it stand out as a sanctuary in 1909. Long before the value conservationism came to political awareness, First Nation's people harolded Quetico as a canoeing and fishing paradise. Portages are clear but unmarked. The very same portages and resting places used by voyageurs before the rail-roads.

Most portages are short and the lakes are as clean and beautiful as they were before the airplane was invented! The granite shorelines are spectacular! View bolders that have stood on a lakeshore since the glaciers retreated!

Quetico is preserved this way because there are no roads, no logging, and no motor boats permitted* in this natural Canadian Wilderness Area.

Quetico is one of the few parts of North America which remains perserved to how it was before the arrival of the white man. Bring your camera for wildlife pictures - walleye pictures! Northern Pike and smallmouth bass pictures!

Japan continues to be one of the top three markets for foreign tourists to Canada. Japanese are finding growing appeal to the wide open spaces of pristine wilderness in Northwestern Ontrario.

Amongst all Japanese age groups, Canada enjoys a reputation as a country of spectacular natural beauty. The piece and solidute of a canoe trip in Quetico Park is becoming one of the wonders of the world in todays global population.
Canada's major tourist attractions, such as the Rocky Mountains and Niagara Falls, have long been popular with Japanese tourists.

There is now increasing interest in Japanese tours to Canada linked to English language training, and exploring the environment, such as Japanese Tours of Quetico Provincial Park and English as a Second Language retreats in Northwestern Ontario.
