This loop in northwestern Quetico Provincial Park favours long stretches of open paddling with only an occasional portage. It starts from the Beaverhouse entry, and permits for it can be picked up at the Beaverhouse, Atikokan or Dawson Trail stations. From the northeast corner of Beaverhouse Lake, portage east into an unnamed lake and then to Cirrus Lake, whose east end looks onto Sue Falls. The route turns south over its longest and hardest portage to Kasakokwog Lake and follows McAlpine Creek west onto Quetico Lake. Keep to Quetico Lake's north shore to see Anishinaabe pictographs on sheer granite cliffs. From the lake's west end, the Quetico River carries you back to Beaverhouse. Sunset Country lists the loop at 40 miles (about 64 km) over four days, with seven portages on five lakes, and rates it easy. Permits are reserved for the Beaverhouse entry up to five months ahead.
Cirrus Lake and Sue Falls Loop is rated Easy. Whitewater ratings are not exact: grades change with water level and season. Verify current conditions locally before you paddle.
