I would get this map IF you don't already have it? I have their Quetico Map and it's a valuable tool. I trust the portage locations/distances on Chrismar vs McKenzie or Fisher.

Chrismar Map : Killarney Provincial Park Planning Map (OM0110-waterproof)

Maybe this one too?  Philip Edward Island & Area - Georgian Bay (AM0362)

Kevin Callan is the man when it comes to Killarney. He's shot several feature videos of his trips in there and I even have a book or two of his with some good canoe routes through there.

On the other hand, with so much pollution in those waters, who knows what interesting mutations may have come to pass.

Alas, though I've been to many parks north of the border, Killarney is not among them.

Be sure to report back on any irregularities you may observe.  You know, an excess eyeball or two, multiple tails, mudwalking... that sort of thing.

Later,

Jimbo   Cool

I've looked at Killarney because it borders the bay where we have a cabin & some of my son's friends have thought about canoe camping there, using our place as a launching point.  I introduced them to canoe camping in Quetico, so I'm interested in comparisons.  I know it's a wilderness park, and I know many lakes are dead due to the old nickel smelter in Sudbury, so fishing is probably not as good!  I've done the online searches and have maps so I know the portages are relatively long.
But any first hand info would be appreciated!
