"Quetico Provincial Park was created in 1913, although road access wasn't built until 1954. The origin of the park's name is a mystery. Locals say the park is named after the "Quebec Timber Company", however no such company existed. The name may also be a version of the French words quête de la côte which means "search for the coast". It may also be from an Ojibwa name for a benevolent spirit who resides in places of great beauty."
