Best Hiking area in Canada

P	Pranay Joshi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful place... if you can, get a canoe and paddle for a few hours. The tiny little islands make for a nice day’s itinerary. There where even people on multiple day camping trips that were launching from this site, so the parking was not easy on the civic day long weekend. So if you’re going on a day like that get there early!
C	Cat C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic! Hiked the trail on May 21, 2020. The Killarney Visitor Center was closed and the parking meter was not operational. Only Chikanishing, Granite Ridge, and the Crack were open based on signage that the Parks staff had posted. The only amenities were the restrooms at the trailheads (no running water, so be prepared with hand sani). This is definitely a hike for a dry day - expanses of rock like these would be treacherous if wet. Also recommend a pair of shoes with good soles - you encounter a mix of step-formations in the rock (which may result in scrambling) and some forest, so I'd gauge it easy-to-moderate. The trail is marked on both trees and the rocks. Completed it in under 2 hours - was not too busy, but it was also a Friday morning. Absolutely recommend this hike - classic Georgian Bay views and breathtaking beauty.
D	Daphne Liu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There are a lot wildlife here: I saw a black bear and a baby bear, caught multiple species of small fish, giant tadpoles, great blue heron. The boat launch is easy to use, but be careful of the rugged road leading to the boat launch.
S	Shazia Hafiji on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely trail in Killarney! Wonderful views and hike around the coastline. A lot of the hiking is done on the rocks/stones, which makes for a very cool experience!
J	Julie Lambert on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a surprise! This is a not-to-be-missed site! We are a 70 and 64-year-old couple who enjoyed every moment of this hike. There are so tricky spots and rough climbing, but if you take your time it can be done. The first glimpse of the river and then of the bay are jaw- dropping. Take a snack or lunch, sit on the beautiful pink granite and enjoy the views which inspired the artists.
K	Ksenya von Shlezinger on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great trail! Lots of air, sun, amazing bright stones and a magnificent view of the majestic Georgian Bay! The trail is straightforward and suites absolutely everyone! Photos were taken by @neon.light.goddess Follow for cool moody photos
C	Charo Ruiz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent spot for hiking thru rough/rocky terrain. Hiking poles required to help you keep your balance. You definitely need hiking boots. It has difficult areas and the signage is poor, you have to search for the signs, some are right on the rocks, you have to look down to find them.. The view of the pink rocks and the blue water of the Georgian Bay are gorgeous and the scenery is just breathtaking. Recommended.
l	l.a. levu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just love this trail with the beautiful pink rocks/boulders and the magnificent views of the Georgian Bay. We had lunch on the rock ledge over looking the water and islands … with the warm October sun and the sound water against the rock … the best of life is made up of moments like it! Not exactly an easy hike but quite doable with proper foot wear and stick. Just watch out that you don’t put your step on those pine needles lying harmlessly in the rock … you may slide right down with them ?. It probably is not a safe place to hike either on a wet day.
