Algonquin Park - Brent Access Camping on Cedar Lake

A Step Back in Time

Above: The Brent Store.  Located in the park and looks as though it hasn't changed since it opened years and years ago.

So you've finally made all the way to the Brent Access point in Algonquin Park!  That's great.  Now check-in at the Permit Office and enjoy the next hour of your drive down winding roads through the Algonquin forest.  Prepare for almost no phone connection as you get closer to Cedar Lake (That's a good thing!).

Gravel roads all the way to Cedar Lake.

Marshland and Lakes on the way to Cedar Lake.

Gravel roads that are winding through the forest will keep you alert and probably give you a few wake up calls as you hit some sharp turns.  You will see tons of forest and small lakes along the way.  There are also several logging roads that are still in use today.  Main point of mentioning this... these roads are safe at a safe speed.  Along the way I saw an overturned car in a ditch.  The car was upside down and crushing the canoe that was strapped to the roof.  The driver and passenger were startled but just fine.  I believe that they spent the rest of the day waiting for a tow and trying to figure out how to get home.  You've come this far, no rush to get there now!

Finally!  There's the sign that you've been waiting for!  An hour later and you've reached Algonquin Brent access... stop, step out, take a picture.

MORE COMING SOON!
