About the area
"A Birch tree grows on the shore of Moose Lake. A canoe lies on the bank beside it. From that Birch tree, you could paddle that canoe up to the end of Moose Lake and camp overnight and put the canoe in another lake the next morning. You could cross that lake, and camp for the night, and paddle across another lake on the third day. You could keep this up, visiting another lake for a hundred years, and you still wouldn't get to all the lakes.
We have already provided you with a general introduction to the uniqueness of the Quetico-Superior region. We have told you about the differences between Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park and Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. For many of you this may be enough about this breath-taking area. There are those, however, who may wish to learn more about this unique area. In the following pages you have the opportunity to get a more in-depth look at both the natural and manmade history of this truly amazing land.
GEOLOGY
A short brisk hike to the top of Thunder Point, located on Knife Lake, leaves an individual speechless at the view. For as far as the eye can see, sheer rock cliffs and crystal clear lakes fill the horizon. On the short hike back down you begin to notice the large boulders strewn along each side of the trail, and upon reaching the shoreline the multitude of small polished rocks that form the gravel beach. Welcome to the breath-taking wonders of the canoe country.
