| Remote Lakeland in the Heart of Canada | |
| Explore Dashwa Narrows, Volcano Bay and Camp Mine Narrow while paddling the remote White Otter Wilderness Area. You will view Native American pictographs and gigantic rock cliffs while you navigate WOW's intricate web of lakes, rivers, streams and bogs. Beaver, moose, wolves, black bear, lynx, and even woodland caribou abound in this area northwest of Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada. Don't forget your fishing rod and make sure to ask your trip leader to share the legend of Jimmy McQuat's log castle and his mail-order bride. If you have enjoyed the BWCA and Quetico, maybe it's time to head further up the trail to the White Otter Wilderness with Wilderness Inquiry. | |
