General presentation
Killarney and the La Cloche Mountains
White quartzite crates, blue lakes and Georgian Bay shorelines form a particularly photogenic massif.
To understand what Killarney and La Cloche Mountains are, you have to look at Killarney Provincial Park, The Crack and George Lake. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, shores and lakes, forests and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Killarney Provincial Park
The white ridges of the La Cloche Mountains are reflected in a chain of blue lakes in the heart of the Killarney. Hiking and canoeing open up very different perspectives on this mineral landscape, made famous by the painters of the Group of Seven.
Place indismissible
The Crack
The Crack is a spectacular breach in the white quartzite ridges of the La Cloche Mountains. The ascent becomes rocky in its last part, then leads to a very wide view of the blue lakes and the forest of the park Killarney.
Nature and landscape
George Lake
George Lake stretch its clear waters at the foot of the white quartzite ridges that characterize Killarney. From the beach or a canoe, the walls are reflected in the lake; it is also one of the classic accesses to trails and backcountry routes.
Nature and panorama
Silver Peak
Silver Peak is the highlight of the La Cloche Mountains and one of their great gazebos. Its quartzite summit requires a sustained hike, but offers an exceptional panorama of lakes, ridges and Georgian Bay.
