The Quetico Provincial Wilderness Park in Ontario Canada is a 4,760 km². (1.18 million acre) park that shares its southern border with Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness which is part of the larger Superior National Forest. The park includes over 2,000 unofficial, unimproved wilderness campsites spread throughout more than 600 lakes. Canoeists require permit reservations and may only enter the Quetico via six Ranger Stations which serve 21 specific entry points. This particular entrance point is Batchewaunge Lake and it is also the headquarters of the "Voyaguer Wilderness Programme", an outfitter and bed and breakfast that furnishes expeditions into the park itself.
