Municipality of Killarney
The Municipality of Killarney sits at the entrance to Georgian Bay's North Channel, its harbour sheltered by George Island amid white quartzite peaks and pink granite shoreline — home to fewer than 500 year-round residents and the oldest community on the north shore. Despite its small size, it offers a full slate of outdoor recreation like kayaking, hiking, and ice fishing, plus a municipal airport, lighthouses, a heritage walking tour, and events like its Winter Carnival.
