Bell lake loop, can't get enough of it. My favourite and in my opinion the most scenic short portage loop in Ontario. Added bonus of having access to silver peak trail hiking which has spectacular views. See you again soon!
Beautiful views everywhere and convenient canoe, kayak and paddleboard rentals available. Even saw a young moose near the Killarney Outfitters store. Great place to camp, swim, paddle and hike (The Crack was so fun!). Will be returning next year!
Great place to camp, beautiful views. Bug spray is a must!! Bathroom was pretty dirty and very very smelly haha. And we're used to other parks giving out maps, and giving tips on hiking trails etc. we got no map, info, fire wood etc. I guess we've been spoiled by the Bruce
A beautiful park with boat rentals. Went canoeing and paddle boarding here and it was great.
There was lots of amazing sceneries and unbieliveble experience in camping to me: swimming on Oct 8th, hiking, climbing on Rocky hills, encountering a black bear twice in our campsite, seeing a brown snake( about 1 meter length) in George lake.
3 beautiful lakes linked together in 3 different levels:
George lake, Freeland lake, Killarney lake that you can see all by canoe.
Remember you are in the bear country, remove all foods, garbages even toothpastes in the night or when you are out of campsite.
No soap in the washrooms.
Herbert's fish & chips in Killarney city is a nice place at the Huron lake.
Gorgeous landscape and scenery, more hiking trails than we could hike in a long weekend, rented a canoe and went canoeing. Very friendly staff at the gatehouse. It was a wonderful experience.
We love Killarney, do backcountry there 2-4 times a year. Amazing park, smaller and less busy than Algonquin.
This park offers wide range of activities, such as hiking trails or kayaking. Ontario's natural landscape presented in the best possible form.
Wonderful place to get out to nature. Any season, any time.
Everyone who lives in Ontario should make time sometime in their lives to visit this provincial park. There are dozens of different canoe routes, hundreds of campsites, a bunch of hiking trails and a ton of lakes to swim in. The lakes are crystal clear (some of the clearest water in Ontario) and a wonder to swim in. The hiking trails are beautiful yet challenging as the quartzite ridges are steep and very slippery. "The Crack" i'd say is the most popular trail.
Absolutely stunning! We did a day trip to the back country and that was amazing.
Beautiful place. However the markings for canoe in sites and portage signs are too small.
Still the best park in Ontario and the trek to the Crack, either via lakes or by road access is still one of the best day trips.
One of my fav provincial parks, although not as big as Algonquin but it s definitely better organized and maintained. Well thought beaches and picnic areas, clean, less crowded, clear water.
I came early spring, there was hardly anyone around. I managed to get a site with this awesome veiw
Beautiful and quiet park despite the campground being full. Must see Canadian Nature place.
Very organized and clean site. They offer firewood and kindling wood at the registration office and the prices are very good! The comfort amenities (showers, washrooms) are very clean and open 24 hours for your convenience. The staff are a great help with it comes to the getting to know the area and "things to do". As I drove around, the others sites were not private BUT site #141 on RABBITS TRAIL (dead end) is very private which includes a nice rock face. It's along the edge of the park so you may come across some critters. PROPERLY STORE YOUR FOOD. If you reserve #141 and #142 you'll have complete privacy 100% (you can find the site in my videos). The next site is about 10 meters towards the main path again. HAVE FUN!!
Wonderful campground, beautiful lake aside from all the bugs we had a good stay. Cam at the visit centre was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for the hiking suggestions Cam!
Great park with lots of great camping areas and trails
Love this park! Great place to hike and photograph!
Wow is all i can say. I thought it would be really nice and worth a visit on my way through. Stayed 2 nights longer than i intended, purely because of all the natural beauty and great trails. Took a last day out on a canoe exploring and im glad we did. I already cant wait to come back there
Amazing provincial park. Beautiful hiking, camping, paddling. Hike the Crack!
Decided to try something different and headed out to do some winter camping in one if the park s yurts! Super cool experience and would definitely recommend. Only thing I would have liked was a clear map of where to find the yurt seeing as I arrived alone after the office was closed and was alone in the campground.
Several trails, hard or easy, good for either family with kids or backpacker.
One of the nicest parks in Ontario. It'd drive-able from major cities, but still remote enough to have a lot of undisrupted nature. Lots of really nice hiking trails.
The park although large, doesn't have a lot of campground space, and it fills up pretty quickly. If you intend on going, book early.
Need to fix the roads in the campground but a spectacular place.
One of my families top 3 Provincial Park. Coming since I was a kid. Absolutely beautiful and picturesque. You will love it to.
Beautiful park for camping, hiking and canoeing/kayaking.
Some of the most beautiful lakes in Ontario , tons of hikes to enjoy anywhere from day hikes to 75 km backcountry trails.
This place is a true hidden gem.
My family has been visiting George Lake every year for over half a century, camping, portaging, hiking, and just enjoying the beautiful sights and scenery and it never gets old. Majestic old growth trees in the interior, pristine, untouched lakes and wilderness teeming with wildlife, granite, and quartzite mountains, saphire and aquamarine coloured lakes with crystal clear visibility . . . There are simply no words that can do it justice. Just go see it for yourself.
Got lucky with clear skies for the night. Mind blowing.
Beautiful scenery. Lots of hiking trails. Clean campsites
Killarney provincial park has incredible trails and waters. There are great portages for beginners and experienced hikers. The environment is so breathtaking for artists and photographers. I spent two days on a solo portage on David lake.
Best of all parks to go to yet! Beautiful scenery. Quiet campsites. Canoe campsites far and near.Everyone is out and about on canoes, hiking trails, or just enjoying the sites. It is hard to get one of the 135 sites. One must reserve to ensure a site. A place to visit more than once b/c there is so much to see. Two weeks is not enough!
It's like a mini Banff. That's incredible. Would recommend going any time of year
Awesome Provincial Park. This park is roughly 5 hours from Toronto which makes it a little more quiet than the other provincial parks we have visited in the past. It is nice to enjoy the outdoors without running into so many other people. The last time we visited the park we did get the opportunity to see some wildlife including a black bear. The campgrounds overall are good- 7/10. The terrain is rugged which presents for challenging yet rewarding hikes. Before or after your visit to the park you can visit the Killarney East Light House and grab some world class fish and chips from Herbert Fisheries.
Incredible views, whether car camping or backcountry. Great staff & rangers. Killarney Outfitters is pretty awesome too.
This beautiful provincial park has incredible scenery and hikes. The relatively uncrowded campgrounds are relaxed and nice for bike riding (there are some hills) There are a couple of small beaches for kids and some nice spots for swimming off rocks. Canoeing and kayaking are popular here for day trips or overnight camping.
Crystal clear water. Incredible canoeing and camping. Lots of trails. The hike to silver peak is a must. Have been going here for many years and have never been disappointed. You might even see a bear or two...
wonderful, and beautiful. Went four years In a row, and it just as good every time. Pack up, and go for hike with you're friends for a few nights it's great.
This place is absolutely amazing i suggest taking as much time as possible to fully enjoy
Great visit to Killarney. Backcountry camping was awesome! The sites we stayed at were all gorgeous. Will definitely be back!
Slow, very quiet during our stay, last week in June. Smart, courteous staff, great campsites at George Lake. I wonder if there are waits at the one full bathroom during high summer season. Extremely well maintained. Great paddling
Beautiful area, great canoeing, would highly recommend.
One of the best portage places I've been to. The nature here is RAW, the water is amazing, the lakes really deep, and the challenges to surpass are not for the begginer. We've been here a week ago with friends for 3 days, crossing 8 lakes and 2 campsites, an experience to last in the memory. My special place was a small lake left of SOA lake, where nature seems to be untouched.
I'm reluctant to tell you how much I love this park. We go backcountry. Very hard to get a reservation to a great Lake but damn! It's very Wabi - Especially when the weather is inclement. Competent staff. They need to address the bear- hang problem - too many broken branches
Gorgeous place. Clean great kayaking, exploring, swimming and fun for the whole family...make sure to get gas early on before getting tot he park because the only gas station is in town is much more expensive and hard to get into if you have a trailer.
We had yet another amazing canoeing trip in Killarney. Doing it for the past 5 years, my whole family keeps enjoying its gorgeous nature, the place is one of the most beautiful parks in Ontario. Staff is very friendly, canoe rentals are quite convenient at Bell and George lake access points, we usually rent through Killarney Kanoes. When booking backcountry campsites for longer trips, keep in mind that you can't stay on the same site for more than 4 nights.
Really enjoyable for camping, canoeing, and hiking. The park is full of different trails, including the crack trail which does take 4 hours hours to complete but has an amazing lookout. In addition, the lakes and mountains create a really nice scenery for long canoe rides which you can rent at Killarney outfitters
A bounty of Nature, pretty wild, and exceptionally beautiful place.
'Chickenishing' is a must go trail, with a views of lake Huron.( A moderate one )
We went for a snowshoe hike. Was hoping to BBQ hotdogs afterwards however there were no picnic tables that we could use
Great time, great weather, great craic and Crack trail!
Absolutely breathtaking lanscape. A must if you are in Ontario
A great park! I recommend going to the Silver Peak as it has the greatest view of the park, and going to the Topaz Lake on the way back, both hikes take around 6 hours and include canoeing, hiking and bouldering!
Sites are large and roomy. Staff was very friendly and helpful
It was okay. I will prefer Grandy Lake over this one. Too much miskito, Canoe rental expensive for a day and washroom is not the best. We had Chase few racoons.
Did the Chikanishing trail. Lots of rock climbing and scenic views of the bay. The toilets were beyond filthy by provincial park standards.
I have been in the Killarney provincial park three times. Each time brought back wonderful memories. What a great place to go!
This is a great place to camp. I find Killarney generally more relaxing and quiet than parks closer to Toronto. There is a good number of exciting hikes here at different levels of difficulty. There is also a lot of canoeing and kayaking possibilities. Go Explore!
Lots of bugs even though there is a good breeze most of the time
Lovely park. Visited at the end of winter. Was a beauty to withhold
