Killarney Fall Colours & Silver Peak Hike
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, often referred to as 'a canoeists dream'. Killarney's exceptionally scenic landscapes are noted for exposed white rock cliffs and crystal clear lakes. Autumn in Killarney is spectacular and a photographer's paradise! Join us for this three-day trip combining the Bell David Lake Loop along with the spectacular Silver Dome Day Hike. This is one of the highest peaks in Ontario and is so named because of the silvery/white gleam the white quartzite gives off in the afternoon sunshine... which is a beautiful site to behold.

Detailed Trip Itinerary
DAY 0: Killarney, Ontario
The group will meet Thursday night at the George Lake Campground in Killarney to go over the plan and get geared up for the adventure.

Today we will drive about 45mins down the road to the Bell Lake Access Point. Here we will launch our canoes and paddle to our first campsite on David Lake.

We will camp on Clearsilver Lake only 500m from the hiking trail.
