On Monday evening I emerged from the Canadian wilderness of Quetico Provincial Park with over 200 photos to upload. I read a photo blog today on another Canadian treasure, Banff by Ken Kaminesky. My photos are nowhere near as impressive as his, but I think they do an adequate job of representing the pristine beauty of the canoe country wilderness and what it is like to adventure travel there. It’s easy to find cheap flights to Canada and see this amazing place for yourself.
Lake Kawnipi in Quetico
With so many pictures, it is hard to choose ten that represent the trip or are the most sensational, but these ten will do. There will be many posts to come from my adventures in Quetico Provincial Park.

You know he would be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle stoically pose
Got to have one fish shot in there. Here we have smallmouth bass, walleye, and a northern
Ok, how about two fish shots
Got to have a fishing action shot in there too. My Dad battling a smallmouth bass.

If this type of trip appeals to you, there are two places one can access the park from the United States that I recommend. If you go through Ely, Minnesota then go through Canadian Border Outfitters. Read about them here:
Boundary Waters and Quetico vacation begin with Canadian Border Outfitters
If you want to go through Grand Marais then try Voyageur Canoe Rentals. Read about them here:
Voyageur Canoe Outfitters is the key that unlocks Quetico and the Boundary Waters
Stay tuned,

Absolutely gorgeous. I love the eagle shot!
Ted, I’ve yet to visit a lot of places in Canada & this is one of them. The photo essay really conveys a sense of having this untapped nature all to yourself. I love the shots of the canoe with nothing but spectacular scenery in the background. This one is my fav: Sunday Lake – Quetico Provincial Park
