This park is often called the crown jewel of the Ontario park system, and is considered one of the finest kayaking destinations in the world. The Group of Seven artists had a cabin near Killarney’s Hwy 6 access point (west of the park) and were instrumental in the park’s establishment. In fact, the park’s 100km La Cloche Silhouette Trail is named for Franklin Carmichael’s legendary painting. The rugged trek, geared toward experienced hikers, twists through a mountainous realm of sapphire lakes, thirsty birches, luscious pine forests and shimmering quartzite cliffs. A network of shorter, less challenging hikes also offers glimpses of the majestic terrain, including the Cranberry Bog Trail (a 4km loop) and the Granite Ridge Trail (a 2km loop).
