O.S.A. Lake
A blue-green lake named after the Ontario Society of Artists, ringed by white ridges, and one of the park's most classic canoe destinations.
O.S.A. Lake is named after the Ontario Society of Artists, in honour of the artists, including members of the Group of Seven, who lobbied the government to protect this wilderness. The water is clear blue-green, surrounded by white quartzite ridges and pine forest. It is one of the most frequently pictured views in Killarney and can also be seen from the top of the 'Crack'. From George Lake, you can paddle by canoe through Killarney Lake and cross several short portages to reach it. The trip takes about 2 to 3 hours one way. You can make it a day trip or camp at designated sites by the lake. Canoes can be rented from outfitters in the park or in the village, and overnight camping must be booked in advance.
