mim95 Says: Panoramic view of Georgian Bay from the lookout point of the Lookout Trail, after hiking for about half an hour. It has a great view of the Bay as the lookout is on the top of the hill, and it is also a great spot for lunch. But don't forget to take your garbage with you so...
mim95 Says: A look at the sunset from another spot on the rocks. Notice the dramatic change of colours from the previous photo. The colours were changing constantly!
Another look at the rocky shore
mim95 Says: The same rocky shoreline in a quiet afternoon. Can't see the reflection any more as the lake became rougher.
mim95 Says: I've been to camping many times before, but this was the time when I saw the most wildlife, including a white tailed deer, 2 pilated woodpeckers, a patridge, and lots of chipmunks.Tip: Get out early in the morning before the sunrise for the best viewing opportunities. Don't...
mim95 Says: We watched the sunsets for two nights in a row on the rocks. No sunsets are the same. We were quite surprised of the beautiful sunset on one night, as we thought that there wasn't going to be a show because of the clouds. It was actually the clouds that brought out the...
mim95 Says: What a beautiful morning, the lake is calm like a mirror!Tip: You can't see the sunrise from the horizon on this side of Geogian Bay, so it's ok to head out after the sun rises, but you'll see the sun comes up in between the trees and the calmness of the lake.
sim1 Says: Pasta a la camping :-))Hahaha, easy and quick food! That's the way I like it when I am camping :-)) I had it real easy this time! I made the sauce for the pasta when I was home. Popped into the freezer, and just before we left for our campingtrip, I put in the icechest to...
mim95 Says: The rocks and the beaches along the shore are good place to watch the night sky.
sim1 Says: Mmmmm... this is the nightlife I like. Relaxing in front of a campfire, having a nice drink, staring into the flames. And at night.... listen to the sounds of the park. I could hear the coyotes howl in the distance, and a cry of some kind bird. Sounds mixing together, mmmm,...
Parry Sound is very easy to find
sim1 Says: Parry Sound is very easy to find. Take highway 400 to the North from Toronto and follow this all the way up. The 400 will become a two-lane road : the 69 north. Follow this road and after a while on the lefthand side is Parry Sound.
sim1 Says: Hahaha, it's hard to recognize... but it is a mailbox! Yep, lots of crazy and creative mailboxes around. And I looooveee this one! I enjoy spotting these crazy mailboxes, and I actually have a whole collection of them here on VT. You can find them on the travelogue of my...
sim1 Says: On this picture you can see an Inuksuk. An inuksuk is a pile of stones arranged in the likeness of a human being. The Inuit People of the Artic used them for marking trails, indicating caches of food, nearby people, or helping in hunting large herds of caribou. I just love...
sim1 Says: Please brake for snakes!!! I like spotting unusual signs, and I thought this was a nice one. It did make me aware though that there are snakes in Killbear Park... eeks!!! Hahaha, but no worries though, with a little bit of common sence you don't have to worry about them....
In a way Killbear felt like a tourist trap
sim1 Says: In a way Killbear felt like a tourist trap. The beaches were crowded with motorboats and speedboats. As I came here to find peace and quiet and enjoy nature, this didn't seem to correspond with my expectations of the park. But... when you get away from the beach, the peace...

sim1 Says: When you go on a day hike it's good to take a few things along with you. * First of all the bug repellent (see the next tip for more info).* Sunscreen! The sun can be suprisingly strong and a sunburn is easily caught.* Water! Hahaha, when you've done a climb uphill you...
mim95 Says: The Swing Bridge has a motorized part in the middle that can rotate horizontally, allowing taller ships to cross under the bridge safely.We were really lucky, as the swing bridge doesn't open often. We were there when the 30,000 Cruise Ship passed by. The ship was returning...
Windsurfing, jet skiing, canoeing...
mim95 Says: Any kinds of water sports can be enjoyed here in Georgian Bay. It seems to be a good place for windsurfing, and you can tell by the trees along the shore, some of which have been blown out of shape. There is no canoe/kayak rental in the park. But there are a couple of...
DogIt Says: If you want to camp with your dog(s), Killbear Point Provincial Park is a place to go. I was so pleased to find they feature a Pet Exercise Area, and even more pleased when I tried it out.It's a area of the park, which is devoted to pets. It includes quite a nice chunk of...
sim1 Says: Hahaha, I think I should make it a quiz and find out what kind of wildflowers these are. I'll give it a try some day to find out their name. But for now I will just call them beautiful red and yellow wildflowers :-)

Q: I am going to book a site at Killbear Provincial Park for the first time. Which campground has the most privacy and best scenery?...
A: I'd prefer to not car camp at Killbear. Rent a canoe and you camp on one of the lakes. The park will just let you know the lake and it's first come/first serve to the...
