With the white quartzite ridges of the La Cloche Mountains’, the pink granite coast of Georgian Bay, and the sapphire blue lakes set in the Jack Pine hills, Killarney Provincial Park is one of the most iconic places in the Ontario Park system. With its unmatched beauty, the area drew many artists, including The Group of Seven’s A.Y. Jackson, Franklin Carmichael and A.J. Casson. This region enchants all visitors to the park, offering the chance to explore the unique sites by backcountry canoeing and kayaking, or by taking an exceptional hike on the La Cloche-Silhouette Trail. The park is situated near the La Cloche range: hills formed of large rounded white quartzite. The George Lake campground offers great access to the beaches, trails, and canoeing routes. It is located right at the park entrance, allowing the remainder of the park to be left as a wilderness destination!
