"M_M, probably the first desk after you get in the door. Park office is farther back through the a second hallway/door.

I remember Moose hunters lining up to get licenses at the first desk in Oct. We walked farther back and there was no action at the park desk. Unattended actually, they were helping out at the front desk, or way in the back somewhere."

Jim,

that may be the issue?  maybe being a different department, they may not staff that desk on weekend days in the summer ?    I've always bought my license along with teh quetico permit from the same person - maybe they don't want to do that anymore ?

who knows ?  I'll call them before I head up that way see what's what
