Park Activities




Education
Park staff offer daily children's programs, guided hikes and evening programs at the amphitheatre. The Visitor Centre is open daily during the summer and naturalists are on hand to answer questions about the park. Interpretive themes include the ecology of Georgian Bay, Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnakes, logging history, early Great Lakes shipping and geology.

Fishing
Georgian Bay is an angler's paradise. The waters offer lake trout, walleye, white fish, perch, largemouth and smallmouth bass and northern pike. The waters of Big Sound, beginning at Whitchelo Point and fronting Killbear Park, are closed to year-round lake trout fishing.
More information on fishing.

Canoeing
Follow the dramatic shoreline in your canoe or kayak but be cautious. Georgian Bay winds can whip up fast.

Wildlife Viewing
Killbear is full of white-tailed deer, fishers, black bears, foxes, porcupines and an assortment of birds, reptiles and amphibians.

Boating
The protected waters of Kilcoursie Bay are great for paddling, waterskiing, power boating and sailing. Keep an eye out for swimmers and divers.

There is a designated boat mooring area in Kilcoursie Bay where boaters can anchor and stay. A valid permit allows those on board to use park facilities.

Swimming
Sandy beaches extend for three km along the Georgian Bay shoreline and offer some of the best swimming in the area. Scuba divers and snorkelers will find the deep, clear water off Harold Point ideal for their pursuits.

Biking
Killbear has a new bike trail that runs parallel to the main park road from the park entrance to Lighthouse Point Campground, a distance of 6 kilometres. This trail will eventually serve as the anchor for a multi-use recreational trail that will run from Killbear Provincial Park to Algonquin Provincial Park and connect with the Trans Canada Trail Network.
