About

Hogan Lake is accessed via the renowned Brent - Cedar Lake route and offers one of Algonquin's most celebrated canoe loops known for exceptional wildlife viewing, pristine campsites, and excellent trout fishing. This 5-day moderate route features a dramatic landscape with one challenging 2.3km portage alongside Stack Rapids on the scenic Petawawa River. Paddlers encounter peregrine falcons nesting on cliffs, abundant moose, and historic river features from the logging era. Summer months are optimal for stable water conditions and wildlife activity. Despite some popularity, the route feels secluded and wilderness-focused.
