Killarney Provincial Park is known for its extreme natural beauty and is considered the centrepiece of the provincial parks system. About 350 square kilometres of the southern edge of the Canadian Shield is preserved in pristine condition for campers, fishers, and hikers. Its landscape was formed over 2 billion years ago and contains the last pockets of wild sugar maple and yellow birch.
The scenery in the park inspire four of seven members of the Group of Seven Canadian artists. Franklin Carmichael, Arthur Lismer, A. Y. Jackson, and A. J. Casson all spent time here. One of the trails, the Silhouette Trail, is dedicated to Frankin Carmichael. It is 100 kilometres long and takes about a week to complete.

Another trail, the Chikanishing Trail, takes only two hours to complete. It takes hikers towards the coastline of the Georgian Bay with a thin layer of vegetation on granite. It’s also the official boat launching point for Lake Huron from the park.
Killarney is also the name of a settlement of about 500 on the southern end of the peninsula. The road to the village was only built in 1962. Before that, all transportation was by boat when it was a fishing village and fur trading post. The two lighthouses built in 1867 helped boats navigate into the harbour. Only the east lighthouse can be accessed by foot, the west lighthouse is on an island.
