Join us for an unforgettable day trip to stunning Killarney Provincial Park, where we'll embark on one of Ontario's most iconic hikes - The Crack. This challenging and technical hike has absolutely incredible views from the top.
As we venture into the heart of Killarney, the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield will surround us, with ancient rocks and lush forests setting the scene. The Crack Trail, famous for its unique geological features, will see us ascending through rocky crevices, traversing steep inclines to reach the awe-inspiring summit.
Throughout the hike, we'll be treated to panoramic views of the pristine wilderness, and surrounding lakes. The sheer beauty and untamed landscape make every step of this journey more rewarding.
After conquering The Crack, if we have time we'll head back and stop in at the French River Suspension Bridge. Suspended high above the meandering river, there are some stunning views of the river and surrounding wilderness.
The Crack trail is a physically demanding hike, and participants should be prepared for the strenuous terrain. However, with a bit of determination and enthusiasm, members with a decent level of fitness and no injuries will be more than capable of taking on this thrilling adventure.
This will be a long day (it's a 4hr drive to Killarney) but it's a real bucket list experience that's worth the trek.
