Our experience has lead us to believe the Canadian side has slightly better lake trout fishing, while the U.S. side has slightly better walleye. Smallmouth bass and northern pike are about the same on both sides of the border. Youth must be listed on an attached roster form and submitted with the adults' application. All paddle-in canoe trips going into Quetico Park from the Ely area funnel through Prairie Portage. There are 15 parties daily.
Most parties reach the portage about lunch time.
East to Carp Lake, North to Agnes, Kahshahipiwi, and Sarah, and West to Basswood River via Basswood Lake. Unlike the Boundary Waters Entry Points which can all be reached via a van trip or directly from our docks, Quetico Park has some entry points which are reached via float plane. These trips start either on Lac La Croix or Beaverhouse Lake. There are several entry points located on these two lakes from which directional travel begins. This cost savings can be applied towards the charter aircraft rate on your budget.
