But my favorite is a favorite for a difference ... Bayley Bay to Burke.  It was my first ever wilderness portage and it still says you are leaving "civilization" behind. dd

My computer screensaver for the past 5 years (since my first Quetico trip) is the north end of Burke, where it narrows down, and I love it for the exact reason that you said:   it is my passage into wilderness.  It may not be the most beautiful spot in Quetico, but when I look at it I can feel the stress melting away.
