Killarney Provincial Park

Killarney is the most striking-looking lake trip in Ontario: clear lakes set among the large, rounded white quartzite hills of the La Cloche range, on the north shore of Georgian Bay. The canoe routes are linked by well-maintained portages and lead to canoe-in backcountry campsites. The park is compact, at about 493 square kilometers, so a loop of three or four days takes in a lot of the best scenery without long travel days. Pack light enough to carry everything across a portage in one or two trips, and book early for summer.
