Entry at BH and loop through Quetico Lake  - Cirrus and back to BH sounds good. What is the 21.6 km road like in a car? I take it the Park staff should have a status update coming soon? I have seen the picos on Quetico Lake, is there any other exciting historic items, etc and any good sites for base camping?


The road in is . . . drivable.  It starts nice and wide but in a few clicks you start to wonder if your still on a road and not a glorified deer path.  Parking lot is great though.  As far as "historical" stuff in that area, the portage from BH to Quetico has some artifacts from the 1920's (I assume) bootlegging and logging operations (old bridge, cars, can dumps, etc..)  Plenty of good base camp campsites as well; specifically the SW side of Eden Island and north of the island up by the picto's.  Cirrus has some decent sites both by the narrows and immediately in the bay after the portage into Cirrus from Quetico.
