Killarney Day Hikes
One of the best ways to see Killarney is to hike the trails. So, if you have a
notion to really explore, lace up those hiking boots and follow your feet.

• Please remember, the Can and Bottle Ban applies to all park hiking trails.
• Please walk single-file on park trails to avoid widening the paths.

Coming soon! The Friends are excited to announce the production a new Day Hiking and Ski Trails Map for Killarney Provincial Park. Look for it on the bookshelves by July 1st.

Safe Hiking Techniques
1. Learn how to use a map and compass, and always bring them hiking.
2. Know your limits and respect them. You are responsible for your health and safety.
3. Sturdy hiking boots are recommended on all trails, and are essential on the La Cloche Silhouette Trail.
4. Running shoes and sandals do not provide adequate support, making you prone to injury.
5. Know how much pack weight you can carry for extended periods.
6. Know how many hours you can hike in one day - 6 hours is usually plenty!
7. Pack a few essentials - first aid kit, sunscreen, bug repellent, a park map, trail guide, water bottle and snacks.
