ATS 555

One word beautiful. The drive to get into the parking lot for the beach is scenic. You're surrounded by trees towering over you as you drive in. On the way in, there is a parks store for your convenience. There are several parking lots, close to the beach. It is a little bit of a walk to get to the beach. There is a designated area for dogs to swim, and the rest of the beach is accessible for everyone. The color of the water will make you think you're no longer in Ontario, combined with the white sand. It wasn't crowded when we got there and the water was warm. Awenda has many trails that you can explore if that's something you're interested in. We checked out the Beaver Pond Trail (a quick 15-minute trail). Reservations are encouraged.

This was our first time hiking in Killarney Provincial Park. We hiked the Crack trail and Granite Ridge. Unfortunately, it rained for most of our hike on the Crack trail, but it was still awesome. It was rugged/rocky and very slippery because of the rain. The most challenging part of the trail was climbing up the rocks to get to the top and then climbing back down. Please be very careful. Otherwise, it still made for an exhilarating hike. The next day, we took on Granite Ridge. One of the more easier hikes. We completed the trail in less than an hour. Depends on how quickly you walk. Beautiful again, lovely scenery. The trail markers on this trail got a bit confusing after we got to the top. The trail is a loop, so you can follow the first trail marker you see coming back down. It'll lead you to number 11. We are looking forward to completing the rest of the trails. P.S. If you're looking for a place to stay close to Killarney, I recommend Sudbury and then driving up to Killarney as it is more affordable and only an hour and a bit away.
