About

Lake Travers is a remote eastern access point at Algonquin's far eastern boundary, primarily serving as pickup point for paddlers descending the challenging Petawawa River from Cedar Lake. This advanced-level route features the river's most thrilling class II-IV whitewater sections requiring expert paddling skills and extensive scouting. Scenery is spectacular with dramatic river gorges, historic logging sites, and excellent fishing opportunities along the way. Late spring through early fall offers best conditions, though high water in June can intensify difficulty. Access is extremely remote, making this a destination for experienced wilderness paddlers.
