Quetico is the Canadian side of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. It covers 4,800 square kilometers of untouched wilderness in Northern Ontario’s Pre-cambrian shield rock forest.

Testimonials:
- Our group decided that the only "GREAT" trip outfitter in Canada is "Canoe Canada". Our Scouts and Scouters had a fantastic adventure and that success goes to the very fine help, advice and the EXCELLENT provisioning by CCO.
-- James Haas, Troop 782, Manchester, MO - We had a fantastic experience at your Batchewaung cabin in early September. To have the luxury of staying in this beautiful cabin in Quetico Park was truly special. Your personal offer to help us portage our supplies in the first day we arrived was extremely gracious, Jim. I always enjoy the chance to bring my friends as new customers to Canoe Canada, as I know they will have the same great experience that I've had. See you next September!
-- Mark Hannah, Spring Hill, KS - We are writing this letter to tell you thanks, and to let you know we will never use another outfitter - your hospitality was second to none. The equipment was first rate...a strong, lightweight, stable canoe, lots and lots of great food, and easy to use reliable equipment. We will be back!
-- Ed Danoski & Greg Staddon, St. Thomas, ON - Of all the outfitters I have used during my camping life, your organization is tops. Please extend our gratitude and appreciation to the entire staff at Canoe Canada for their outstanding efforts in making our trip as pleasurable as possible.
