Quetico Provincial Park
Quetico Provincial Park, Nature reserve in Rainy River District, Canada.
Quetico Provincial Park extends across 4,760 square kilometers of Northwestern Ontario, containing over 600 lakes connected by rivers and portage trails.
The Ontario government established Quetico as a forest reserve in 1909, later designating it as a provincial park in 1913 through the Provincial Parks Act.
The region holds remnants of Paleo-Indian settlements from 8000 BC, including canoe pictographs at Agnes Lake and pottery artifacts from Later Woodland Indians.
Visitors enter through three accessible ranger stations at Dawson Trail, Atikokan, and Lac La Croix, with permits required for all wilderness camping activities.
The park sits on ancient Precambrian rock formations near the Laurentian Divide, determining water flow patterns toward the Hudson Bay watershed.
