Outpost Cabins
For several years now we have been using the outpost cabins through Canoe Canada. These folks are the best and each trip has been a memorable experience. I have been fishing Quetico Park since the mid 60's and have used three different outfitters....in early years flying North out of Ely, but I preferred the quality of fishing and camping on the north side of Quetico so started using Canadian outfitters. Since I am now older I prefer the outpost cabins so there is more opportunity for fishing and it is less strenuous. I have used Canoe Canada for 15 years now on several trips. They seem like family and their service is the best.....we are looking forward to our next trip in mid-July to Bow Lake.
