This may best be filed under the "other places to paddle" thread, but since White Otter is just north of Quetico and of similar qualities, I thought that I'd post this here. It seems that the summer youth trip that I lead may be going into White Otter instead of Quetico. Our groups may be a bit larger this year and permit fees, along with outfitter input may put us in White Otter this summer. I'm a bit disapointed, partially for symbolic reasons, I wanted to add to my knowledge of Quetico and to expand upon the areas that I've seen in Quetico. I also wanted to pass along more info on Quetico, though I guess the trade off will be passing along new info to the group on White Otter.

Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has been to White Otter and has any suggestions, words of wisdom as well as general info on how White Otter compares to Quetico.

I'm having problems tracking down the old White-Otter thread. I certainly will pass along any and all info in a trip report. I'm not paying for this trip, I'm actually getting paid, but I'd still rahter be in Quetico. I've got one White Otter map (not sure if it's just one segment of the area or the entire area) but it seems like the network of lakes and portages isn't quite as developed and there are just more options within Quetico, but that's just a first reaction. I'm sure that the outfitters will have much more info to pass along.
