Killarney PP – Day 1

Killarney Provincial Park is situated on the north shore of Georgian Bay in the municipality of Killarney, the park straddles the La Cloche range, large rounded white quartzite hills that dominate the landscape.

The white peaks and cliffs contrast with the pine and hardwood forests and the boggy lowlands that surround the park’s many lakes.

The park contains just one campground at the George Lake entrance as it is primarily a wilderness park. There are few facilities in order to allow visitors a chance to experience the solitude and beauty of its undisturbed natural setting.

In 2018, Killarney Provincial Park was awarded the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada’s Dark-Sky Preserve designation, the first Ontario Park to do so.

On our first day we hiked three trails:

The first was Granite Ridge Trail.

The second was Lighthouse Trail.

We wrapped the day hiking Chikanishing Trail.
