With its quartzite ridge tops, turquoise lakes and pristine forests, Killarney Provincial Park is known as the Crown Jewel of the Ontario Parks system, and has long been the ideal destination for those seeking a wilderness escape. Located 4.5 hours north of Toronto, Ontario, its many trails and canoe routes, leading to panoramic views and secluded lakes, offer rewarding opportunities for the outdoor recreationalist and nature enthusiast.
