Great Loop Lifestyle - Killarney, Ontario

Killarney, Ontario is the Gateway to the North Channel and is one of my favorite stops so far on the Great Loop. Our stay at the marina at the Killarney Mountain Lodge (an AGLCA sponsor) was wonderful with good restaurants and resort-style amenities. Highlights included a hike on the Lighthouse Trail and a trip on a smaller, faster boat than ours to visit the Pool at Baie Fine where many Loopers take their own boats and anchor. Catch the details in the video!
