Brent Run, Algonquin Park
A short account of the Brent Run canoe trip in Algonquin Park, ON. This is a series of videos with a few stills from a paddling adventure from July 2014. The Brent Run trip starts at Canoe Lake, goes to Brent Station and return. The total length is 160km with 46 portages. Some people do this trip without stopping. We decided to take our time and spend 10 days in this wonderful Algonquin interior.
BRENT CRATER UPDATE
The Brent meteorite crater is located within the northern boundary of Algonquin Park 75 km east of Lake Nipissing. It was named the Brent crater because of its proximity to the village of Brent, a divisional point on the Canadian National Railway's transcontinental line. It is the largest known terrestrial crater with a simple, bowl-shaped form and perhaps the best known and possibly the most thoroughly studied fossil meteorite crater in the world.

Building A Quinzee Near Algonquin Provincial Park
My friend and fellow instagrammer Uncle Tito Outdoors instagram.com/uncle.tito.outdoors and his friends built this quinhee on a winter camping trip near Algonquin provincial Park and I am sharing this guest video with his permission.
A quinzhee or quinzee kwɪnziː is a Canadian snow shelter that is made from a large pile of loose snow which is shaped then hollowed.
This is in contrast to an igloo, which is built up from blocks of hard snow, and a snow cave, constructed by digging into the snow. The word is of Athabaskan origin, and entered the English language by 1984. A quinzhee can be made for winter camping and survival purposes or for fun.
Quinzhee are typically built on a flat area where snow is in abundance, on a day colder than −4 °C (25 °F). Builders break up layers of naturally fallen snow into powder and thoroughly mix bottom and top layers of snow to increase sintering, thus strengthening the eventual structure. Snow is typically piled 1.5 to 2 meters (6 to 10 feet) high in a dome 3 to 4 meters (10 to 12 feet) in diameter. It is then left for at least 2 hours to sinter, allowing both temperature and moisture in the snow to homogenize and the snow crystals to bond with each other. Packing can speed the bonding process and strengthen the structure. Small sticks, approximately 30 to 35 cm (12–14 inches) are pushed into the structure to act as thickness guides when the interior is hollowed out.
Excavation may be accomplished more quickly if large blocks of interior snow are carved and slid out through a large, temporary excavation door. Strength increases when all interior wall and ceiling surfaces follow an arched curve, with no flat sections. Once excavation is complete the excavation door can be permanently blocked using previously excavated blocks, and a smaller permanent door can be cut in the most desirable spot. Time and effort are required to hollow out the center of a Quinzhee, though these can be reduced by piling snow around a hollow structure, such as a pile of packs or a makeshift tent or dome.

Algonquin Park Backcountry Paddling Trips You Can't Miss
For paddlers who want to go canoe camping, Algonquin Provincial Park is the perfect destination. Access points along the highway 60 corridor can be extremely popular during the season, so Algonquin Outfitters’ Randy Mitson has some advice for canoeists looking to get a little further off the beaten path.
According to Mitson, the west side of Algonquin Park is perfect for the paddler looking to get away, and test their skills. Rain Lake, which can route paddlers into Ralph Bice Lake and the Tim River, offers an excellent launch site that leads directly into the park so you get to the backcountry quicker and enjoy solitude.
Algonquin Park also has some amazing loops, says Mitson. The Magnetawan access point takes you through Daisy Lake and leads to the Petawawa River. From there you can paddle to Big Trout Lake and then come back through Ralph Bice for a scenic five-day loop.
If you are looking at getting even deeper into the wilderness, the north end of Algonquin Park is where you need to go. Drive an hour on a dirt road to Algonquin Outfitters’ Brent access point on Cedar Lake, which is part of the Petawawa River system. Don’t be discouraged by the long dirt-road, the drive itself hosts a giant meteorite crater for you to explore before you even hit the water.
