Quetico Campsite 1A on Beaverhouse

this site was a welcome find after a fairly long day. we were here in oct 2026. low water. canoe landing area is a bit rough but doable. may be better in higher water. elevated site but relatively easy access. not much room for tents but plenty for our one tent. good trees for hammock options. nice fire pit area. a bit exposed to bad winds but we really enjoyed this spot. down side is having to walk down the hill, across the land bridge, and then up another hill to use the latrine. but not a deal breaker. beautiful area. would like to return to explore the river area more. seems to be good smallmouth fishing nearby. also got one really nice pike. no walleye. insert sad face here.

Nice, but smaller elevated campsite. Several canoe landing spots depending on wind. Rather steep walk (that could be very slick when wet) on the east side the island. Land bridge to larger island for toileting, but a steepish walk and brushy trail to find an appropriate spot. Max of two tent sites and they will be close together. We were just the two of us so we had a nice spot and a place for our bug tarp. Decent fire pit (may need to be rebuilt a little) with a couple sitting logs. Trees were good for bear bag suspension system. Did not fish from shore, but caught nice lake trout in the channel between the island and shore on the north side. Also caught trout in the river to the west and all around the island itself. Nice display of pictographs on cliff face on main southern shore as you exit the area heading east.

Small site very high up for a good view. Nice rock on west side for swimming or fishing. North side is best for put-in or takeout. Land bridge connecting to the large island for bathroom use.

Good tent pads, rocks to relax on and swim from, log to sit on, shade or sun.
