About

Cedar Lake (Access Point #27) serves as eastern gateway to Algonquin's interior featuring legendary Brent Crater meteor impact site and historic logging routes through Petawawa River whitewater. This access point anchors multi-day expeditions toward the Nipissing River remote wilderness with exceptional moose viewing, brook trout fishing, and logging history dating back over a century. Cedar Lake routes suit experienced paddlers with 5-8+ day time commitments, combining peaceful lake paddling with challenging whitewater river sections. The Brent store provides supplies and cultural landmark; scenic beauty and wildlife abundance make this worth the eastern drive. Expect substantial portaging, wind exposure on larger lakes, and need for solid paddling skills throughout multi-day adventures.
