Silver Peak
The highest point in the park, at roughly 539 m, with 360-degree views from the summit over the La Cloche Mountains, numerous lakes and Georgian Bay.
Silver Peak rises about 539 m and is the highest point in Killarney Provincial Park and the La Cloche Mountains. Its summit is bare white quartzite offering wide views over countless lakes and ridges. On clear days you can see Georgian Bay and the northern shore of Lake Huron in the distance. There is no road to the summit. The usual approach is to paddle a canoe into Bell Lake or George Lake and then hike in, or to take the side trail from the La Cloche Silhouette Trail (about 6 km one way, with significant climbing). An overnight camp in the park is generally required. It suits visitors with outdoor experience. Bring a map and water treatment equipment, and watch for changing weather.
