3- Day Killarney Hiking Trip

Join me for an unforgettable hiking trip to the breathtaking Northern Ontario’s fall landscape at Killarney Provincial Park while you stay at the relaxing Killarney Mountain Lodge. This is our second year hiking trip to this magical location.
This is a three- and half-day trip that requires travelling to Killarney provincial park (app. 4 hrs drive from north of GTA) and making your accommodation reservation. Recommended to pair up with other hikers for carpooling to save on gas and to leave less CO2 footprint behind.
We will stay at Killarney Mountain Lodge that offers variety of rooms / prices. Recommended to make your reservations at this location.
Once you make your room reservation, send me a message to confirm it and I will move you from the Waiting list to the Going list.
Due to the long traveling distance, recommended to arrive at the Killarney Mountain Lodge a day earlier on Thursday afternoon October 1st, 2026, to ensure everyone is ready and well-rested on the first day of the hike.
Based on last year’s group experience at this location, you may use the lodge’s facility such as kayaking, swimming pool when you arrive earlier in the afternoon and after your check-in.
