At 48,500 hectares, Killarney Provincial Park is among Ontario's most majestic landscapes.

Jackson and the Group of Seven. These same artful landforms also provide hikers and paddlers with some of the finest backcountry canoeing and hiking in the country.

Located on the north shore of Georgian Bay in the village of Killarney, it's a well-known gateway to adventure in the park. You can enjoy rustic cabins in a resort setting and sign on for day trips into the park.
