Download or read book Quetico written by Jon Nelson and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2009-05-18 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quetico Park in northwestern Ontario celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2009. Long-recognized as a gem among parks, Quetico contains some of the largest stands of old-growth red and white pine in Canada , as well as a diversity of fascinating lichens, carnivorous plants in specialized habitats. The author presents an insightful look into Quetico's natural history as he examines the adapations that have allowed moose, white-tailed deer, wolves and other mammals to survive. The human history of the park is also explored, beginning with the Objiwa living there when the area was designated as a park, followed by accounts of trappers, loggers, miners, park rangers, and poachers. Beginning with the retreat of the glaciers, the author combines his thorough research into Quetico's long and varied history with the threads of his own extensive involvement with the park. The result is a splendid tribute to a very special place.
Download or read book A Wonderful Country written by Bill Magie and published by Raven Productions. This book was released on 2005 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Bill Magie began taking canoe trips in the wild country along the Minnesota-Ontario border, there were places where the lakes were so crowded with logs heading to the mill, that his group put their gear on a horse-drawn wagon to portage to a spot where they could paddle. There were other places where they could travel for two or three weeks and see no except an occasional Indian family. Bill's stories originate from the Canoe Country -- today's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Voyageur National Park, and Quetico Provincial Park. But they are not the dry facts of the past. (Some would argue that there are few facts to be found in these stories!) Instead, they are full of the elements that still draw us to this wilderness area today -- wolf howls, sparkling water, storms, solitude, stillness, adventurous undertakings, relics of bygone days, campfires and camaraderie. Take this book on your next canoe trip, and imagine Bill has joined you, spinning tales of lumberjacks and trappers, surveying the border, flying bush planes when flying at all was a novelty, camping before nylon and plastic and freeze-dried food, hunting and fishing when you succeeded or went hungry. Find stories about the places you visit: Curtain Falls, Prairie Portage, Granite River, Knife Lake, Basswood, Saganaga -- and so many more. And know that the spirit of those who have loved this place lives on as today's paddlers discover what a wonderful country this is"--Front flap.

Download or read book A Boundary Waters Fishing Guide written by Michael Furtman and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If you're heading into either the Boundary Waters or Quetico, and plan to do some fishing, you'll find this book invaluable. It is the only complete guide to what is in each of the thousands of lakes in these wilderness areas (OK, not EVERY lake is in here, but almost!), listing lake size, depth, access, and fish species present. There's a whole bunch of information on what lures work for which species, how to pack a nice, small tackle selection that'll still be effective, and even some helpful diagrams on how to fillet fish. Each major fish species gets its own chapter, and if you've never fished these Canadian Shield type lakes, even experienced anglers should find my advice helpful. The great thing about fishing in the BWCAW and Quetico is that, in this day and age when fishing is becoming so complicated and technical, one is forced to simplify just by the nature of packing and portaging. What you'll find out is that you CAN fish without sonar! Yes you can! And you don't need a candy-apple red, metal-flake bass boat with 150 horsepower to get to the fish."--Author's description (website)
