Getaway Guide 2006
The white quartzite hills of Killarney Provincial Park, so lovingly painted by A.J. Casson, have long been a mecca for canoe trippers, most of whom stop at Killarney Outfitters for rentals or guiding services. A series of packages is designed to provide some sybaritic comforts in addition to the park’s scenery. The Georgian Bay Gourmet: Fine Dining in the Wild package takes adventurers to the bay’s North Channel, where mini- islands of skin-smooth pink granite are surrounded by impossibly blue water. After spending a night at Killarney Mountain Lodge, guests are guided on a two-night sea-kayak excursion. A morning of paddling is rewarded with a Provençal picnic lunch (perhaps three-vinegar chunky gazpacho, grilled veggies on focaccia and homemade cookies) waiting on a set table on a rocky island.
The Mountain Lodge remains popular with pleasure boaters cruising the North Channel. Unlike so many Muskoka resorts that are quickly being absorbed into chains and renovated to the max, this family-run lodge still has a folksy feel. The dining room sports mounted trophies, wood panelling and stone fireplaces. For the ultimate vista, book the Pilot House, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage with stone fireplace and screened porch overlooking the Killarney Channel and Georgian Bay.
