Killbear Provincial Park:
Killbear is a great day trip destination - compact, yet packed with interesting natural features, iconic windswept pine and over 30 km of Georgian Bay shoreline. Your Ontario Parks day use fee is included in ticket cost.
There are four official trails.
Twin Points Trail - a 2.1km loop that will take you roughly one to two hours to complete and takes you through different types forests and along the rocky shoreline. The trail is mostly flat, with lots of walking over red Canadian Shield. This is our favourite trail - The Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve has included the provincial park’s Twin Points trail as one of its Amazing Places
Lookout Point Trail - a 3.5km moderate hike that will take you roughly 1.5 hours to complete and offers amazing views of Georgian Bay.
Lighthouse Point Trail - a 800m loop that will take you roughly 30 to 45 minutes to complete and takes you to the tip of Killbear point.
Recreational Trail - a 6km linear trail that will take you roughly 3 hours to complete and follows the main park road from the entrance to Lighthouse Point.
