One of the best provincial parks for backcountry paddling (along with Algonquin of course). Killarney has amazing granite and limestone cliffs that rise out of the water, making swimming and sightseeing excellent. The limestone has also resulted in many dead lakes which are ecologically saddening but do mean wonderful visibility and crystal clear waters. This trip kept us on the exterior lakes of Johnnie and Carlyle but past trips spanned George lake and OSA lake. You can also hit up the huge loop of the La Cloche hiking trail or just hike The Crack for amazing views. This is the fourth or fifth year canoeing the park and we will definitely be back for many years after. (Or we may stop by Algonquin for a bit of a different landscape).
