Killarney Park

The north entrance to Killarney Park is accessible via the Willisville lakes. Killarney is the place where the North Channel meets Georgian Bay and is considered to be one of Ontario Parks’ crown jewels. Once higher than the Rocky Mountains, La Cloche’s white quartzite cliffs, from a distance, gleam like snowy peaks.

A.J. Casson painted White Pine from the white quartzite bluffs of Killarney. He and other members of Canada's famous Group of Seven artists pressured the government to create the wilderness preserve now called Killarney Provincial Park. The shoreline of Georgian Bay is also protected as part of the Great Lakes Heritage Coast. With 15,000 square km of freshwater, Georgian Bay is considered the sixth Great Lake. Come and explore this rare outdoor world on blue waters to the heart of the Park, by sea kayak along the route of the Voyageurs, on foot over white ridges to the top of the world, under sail on the Bay with the wind at your back.

Boaters are reminded, whether approaching from the east or west, to stick to the charts to avoid the many rocks and shoals. Killarney marine facilities provide almost 200 transient slips with 20 spots able to accommodate craft up to 80 ft. Through public and private tourist efforts the village of Killarney offers a full line of services to boaters including repair services.
