Welcome to Killarney
Situated at the entrance to the North Channel amidst sparkling white quartzite peaks and pink granite rock, its harbour sheltered from the turbulent waters of Georgian Bay by George Island, the original Village of Killarney is the oldest community on the north shore. The Town of Killarney and the Provincial Park that bears it’s name are havens for outdoor enthusiasts looking for wilderness camping, hiking, paddling, wildlife viewing, sea kayaking and for those seeking exceptional accommodations in resorts or Bed & Breakfasts.
Killarney’s unparalleled beauty draws outdoor adventurers from around the world. Set up your artist’s easel or let loose with your camera, the scenery is perfect. Tom Thompson and Canada’s renowned Group of Seven painters thought so.
For a short jaunt or one that will really bet the blood pumping, hike any of the area trails through the LaCloche Mountains and be rewarded with a spectacular view of Georgian Bay.
Join the party along the waterfront where gifts shops, café’s, bars and restaurants are hopping all summer long. Even Al Capone made Killarney his choice of getaway!
Fresh fish and chips is always the order of the day and you can loose yourself as you watch the sailboats and luxury yachts come and go! If you’re the “relax by the pool” type or look forward to a spa treatment don’t rule out Killarney. For a small place it offers big choice.
With a year-round population of less than 500, this treasure of Rainbow Country must surely rank as the biggest little town in Canada, if not the world!
