LSProject: Quetico ranger station wraps up another season
Quetico Provincial Park is situated just across the border from Minnesota in the dense forests of Ontario. During the peak paddling months, canoeists may only enter Quetico via six ranger stations which serve 21 specific entry points. Among these locations is the Cache Bay Ranger Station on Saganaga Lake, a post that Interior Ranger Janice Matichuk has maintained for the past 34 years.
The Cache Bay Ranger Station officially closed for the year Sept. 9, though canoeists can still fill out a form on the island and enter the park without the tips and safety reminders Matichuk is well known for providing.
WTIP’s Joe Friedrichs visited the Cache Bay Ranger Station at the end of the 2018 season and shares this report.
Lake Superior Project is supported in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
