Story

The Brent Store – Cedar Lake

Our most remote location is found on Cedar Lake, at the north end of Algonquin Park. Without phone service or electricity, the Algonquin Outfitters store in the historic village of Brent holds a certain backwoods character that you cannot find elsewhere. Although situated at the end of a 40 km (25 mile) gravel road, the Brent access point (#27) is the starting point for canoe routes journeying into more remote and less traveled regions of the park. It also offers the best access to the only area of Algonquin Park where walleye (yellow pickerel) are found.

Brent StoreAlgonquin Outfitters has been operating the Brent Store since 1982. Outfitting, canoe rentals and supplies for camping trips are all available at Brent. Advance reservations (minimum four weeks) are highly recommended for any rental or outfitting package. Customers familiar with the wide variety of services and products available at our Oxtongue Lake and Opeongo bases will find things a little different when they get to Brent. The store is stocked with grocery items like snacks, milk, frozen meat and bread along with a representative selection of freeze dried and dehydrated food. The outfitting department offers the same types of equipment as our other bases, but not in the same quantity. Fish tackle appropriate to the area is available.

We have purposely limited the amount of equipment available at Brent in order to help preserve some of the unique qualities of the base. Both complete and partial outfitting are available, but advance reservations should be made through our the Oxtongue Lake base at least four weeks ahead of your arrival date. There is no postal service to Brent and, believe it or not, no hydro or no telephone other than a satellite phone reserved for emergency use! Petawawa River trippers should note that ABS whitewater canoes are not available at Brent. We do have a good selection of these canoes at the Oxtongue Lake base.
