Years ago I flew into into the Q from the Ely area, I'd like to try it again sometime but its not clear to me if this service is still offered by anyone?

Related, does anyone offer shuttle services?

I don't have a specific trip planned, trying to see what my options are. I'd love to traverse the BWCA/Q west to east though.

We did a fly-in for our 2007 trip. While the fly-in service was arranged by Piragis, the company was "Lac la Croix Quetico Air Services Ltd." Tried looking them up and find lots of photos of their planes, but no contact info for the company. We were flown from Ely to Sand Point Lake to clear customs, then to Campbell's Resort for permits and a tow to Twin Falls. Great way to get into the southwest corner of the Park--hope you find that you can still set it up.

I did the fly in years ago. Flew from Crane to Campbell’s.., I don’t think they do that anymore, but I may be wrong. The last several years, I’ve used Zups shuttle service. First class organization. They will work their butts off for you, and offer a good package that offers overnight accommodations , with great food in the package. Mark and Kathy are a wealth of knowledge about that area. If fishing is your game, talk to Mark, he knows what’s going on in that department.

Looks like they have been out of service since 2008. Found an interesting history for the plane available online.
