Winter on the Trails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In winter, Killarney’s breathtaking landscape transforms into a serene wonderland of snow-blanketed La Cloche Mountains, glistening granite ridges, and frozen lakes. The same awe-inspiring scenery that inspired artists like the Group of Seven becomes even more tranquil, offering an unparalleled sense of solitude for those seeking adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the Georgian Bay Geopark, Killarney’s unique geological features are even more striking against the backdrop of winter\u2019s quiet beauty. While the trails demand greater preparation and skill in the colder months, the reward is an exclusive experience of pristine wilderness and serene vistas. For those up to the challenge, winter hiking offers a rare opportunity to connect deeply with nature in its most peaceful state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big Dipper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Built by expedition paddler Mike Ranta to commemorate Killarney\u2019s 200th anniversary in 2020, this monumental paddle, weighing 22,000 pounds, spans 107 feet in length and 17 feet in width at the blade. Made from Eastern White Cedar, it is the world’s largest paddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A time capsule has been embedded in the shaft of the paddle, to be opened 200 years from now, marking a significant connection between past, present, and future. Killarney Mountain Lodge is proud to have assisted in this historic endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the paddlers he admired and encountered during his journeys, many of whom are veterans, Mike Ranta dedicated “The Big Dipper” as a tribute to those who have served the country. Featuring a prominent poppy, it offers a spot for visitors to sit, reflect and pay homage, embodying a truly Canadian way to remember and say thank you to these heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
