George Lake
Best time to visit
Early morning offers the calmest water and best light for reflections and loon calls. Late spring through early fall gives warm weather and easier access, while fall brings bright foliage.
Budget tips
George Lake sits inside Killarney Provincial Park, so an Ontario Parks day-use fee or valid Parks pass is required; purchase at the park gate or online to avoid waiting. Consider an annual Ontario Parks pass if planning multiple visits to Killarney or nearby parks to save money.

About
Бързи факти: Morning light often turns the water a glassy teal, mirroring pink granite ridges and the slow strokes of canoeists. Clarity frequently reveals stones three metres below the surface, and several small islands and shallow bays invite short swims or rock-scrambles.
Акценти: At the west cove a narrow 20-metre channel traps mist until the sun slices through, turning cliffs molten pink and making the air smell sharply of wet pine. Local paddlers leave painted pebbles on a favourite boulder, more than 200 added last season, and on calm evenings you can hear loons close enough to count the gaps between their calls.
Insider tips
- Dress in layers and bring a lightweight waterproof, windproof jacket because weather can change quickly on the lake.
- Start at sunrise or late afternoon to avoid typical midday winds and capture mirror reflections for photos.
- Bring insect repellent and a small towel, mosquitoes can be heavy in sheltered bays during summer.
- Launch from the main parking/trailhead area to protect fragile shoreline vegetation and keep a respectful distance from nesting loons for better wildlife viewing.
