Brent (Cedar Lake North) is a remote northern access point reached via a challenging 24km gravel road, opening routes through the spectacular Petawawa River system and pristine interior lakes. The area is known for incredible wildlife viewing including moose and peregrine falcons, excellent trout fishing, and historic logging sites dating back over a century. Paddling here is intermediate to challenging with longer portages and exposure to potentially rough conditions on large lakes. Best visited in summer; the remote access limits crowds significantly. High-quality trip planning is essential due to isolation.
The difficulty of Access 15 (Brent) River varies by section.
The best time is June-September.
Access 15 (Brent) River is located in the Algonquin Provincial Park region of Canada.
