Yes, a trip to Georgian Bay means venturing into Ontario’s backcountry, but that doesn’t necessarily mean roughing it. Really.
As soon as we arrive in Killarney, we feel like we’re on the set of Planet Earth. A fox and her pup, oblivious to our presence, frolic in the greenery. We soon spot beavers, deer, porcupines and a curious black bear cub. No wonder: With 1,600 square kilometres of wilderness but fewer than 1,500 human residents, the area – on the north shore of Georgian Bay, an hour south of Sudbury – leaves ample room for fauna. We get our fix of the quintessential Canadian outdoor experience by kayaking, sailing, hiking and canoeing among Killarney’s white quartzite mountains, pink granite ridges and glacier-blue lakes. But we admit that the best natural resource may well be the town’s fish ’n’ chips.
