Chikanishing Trail | Killarney Hiking & History | My Hiking Happy Place | Killarney Provincial Park

*All aerial footage taken from outside of the park boundaries.
Join me on an adventure through Killarney Provincial Park as I explore the breathtaking Chikanishing Trail. This trail holds a special place in my heart as it leads me to the stunning shoreline of Georgian Bay, offering mesmerizing views along the 2 km journey. Starting from the parking lot beside Chikanishing Creek, known for its canoe and kayak launches, I embark on a counter-clockwise trek towards the bay, tracing the footsteps of ancient settlers and early explorers. As I navigate the rocky terrain, I can't help but marvel at the rich history of this land, from its indigenous roots to its role in French exploration and subsequent development. The nearby village of Killarney, with its storied past as a trading post turned fishing port, adds another layer of intrigue to this scenic landscape. Georgian Bay, often dubbed the Sixth Great Lake, captivates me with its rugged beauty and tranquil waters, providing a perfect backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts like myself. As I reach the final leg of my journey, a thrilling climb up weathered rocks rewards me with an awe-inspiring vista, a fitting conclusion to this unforgettable experience. Join me as I immerse myself in the beauty and history of Georgian Bay, and don't forget to hit that like button if you enjoyed the adventure!

Yep - possibly the most beautiful shoreline on earth. Those rock formations with that gorgeous pink colour are simply jaw-dropping. Thanks for capturing this in another sunny and captivating video, Daryl!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Rob, I truly love that shoreline, no two views are the same. I hope to get my kayak out there a few times this year. Thanks for watching!

[@wendingourway]

Can certainly see why this would soon become a favourite for sure...just a great piece of peace and tranquility!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Bruce - if I could walk its entire length, I would!

[@caseyoingo6440]

I wish I was closer to Georgian Bay I would be there visiting it a lot 😊 There isn’t enough words for its beauty good video!

[@flynorthproductions]

Agreed! It is an amazing shoreline. I hope to get out there a bit more now that I have a slightly bigger kayak. Thanks for watching.

[@riversandcoffee]

Georgian Bay is absolutely spectacular… there’s something so special about it… so rugged and wild yet calming. Places like this touch our soul…. And calls us back. Spectacular hike and views. The sixth great lake indeed…. (I’ll cross that bridge when I get to… Lol)… Thanks for the hike Daryl… ✌️

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Jim. I liked your assessment: rugged and wild yet calming. That's exactly right! Thanks for visiting and have a great week. ~ Daryl

[@DCOutdoors]

What an awesome looking trail in an amazing park. The Canadian Shield is beautiful. Endless trails and waterways. The terrain changes are stunning. Another well done video.

[@flynorthproductions]

I certainly agree, it's my favourite shoreline I've found...so far. Thanks for watching!

[@meruhan-kazuchan]

It must be a happy trail with beautiful sceneries, Nice sharing.

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Regards from Canada.

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Georgian Bay certainly is a beauty👍 Thanks Daryl✌

[@flynorthproductions]

It sure is, thanks Marc.

[@StartLivingNow1963]

Another Awesome Adventure Thank You Daryl the Views are Amazing Great Hike🙂❤👍Looking forward to the next Awesome Adventure🙂🙂🙂

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you very much, Robert. I hope you're doing well. ~ Daryl

[@almarcon1896]

Another great video and a beautiful part of Northern Ontario.. Thanks for sharing it!!!😎

[@flynorthproductions]

Yep, definitely my happy place. 👍 Thanks!

[@slowridephotographyadventu6850]

Terrific video! I feel the same way. Every time I paddle out The Chik all my worries disappear. You kayaked from The Chik to The Key.... that's a heck of a paddle 👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi, thanks! Yeah it was great trip, three days I think. I was much younger then. 😁

[@backroadjournals]

Easy to see how this is your favorite place 🙂. It almost looks like you're on the ocean. It reminded us a bit of shoreline that we've got here in places. Thank You for taking us along, that is a beautiful place 👍. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks! I love that type of shoreline. If you do find yourselves out here on your way to the east coast, feel free to give me a shout. I can maybe point you to some places you might like or at least offer you a place to park for a night or two. Cheers. ~ Daryl

[@homecookexpert]

Different landscaping from Toronto! Thank you for sharing! 👍👍👍🙏🙏

[@flynorthproductions]

Yes it certainly is, I lived in Toronto for a few years so I would have to agree. Thank you for watching!

[@carolannontario]

I love this trail and I agree - the shoreline of Georgian Bay is incredibly beautiful. I was there in summer and went swimming off those rocks that you reach after the bridge. Beautiful photos! I love the photos from 20 years ago too

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks so much, it's my favourite place.

[@WarrenTheReporter]

I haven't spent much time hiking around Killarney but this is a trail I've done at least two or three times! It's a wonderful spot. Thanks for the coverage and stories!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Warren - I hope your TVO project is going nicely. Cheers. ~ Daryl

[@glyn829]

Wow what a beautiful place to hike and great scenery great views from the top there 👍 we enjoyed watching thanks

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi. Thanks for watching! Cheers from Canada.

[@tripmood365]

Very stylish and interesting food preparation, my friend. The journey continues. Greetings from Helsinki 🇫🇮

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you so much 👍

[@kanukkarhu]

Daryl, that was soothing for the soul... I too think the North Shore of Lake Huron is one of my favourite places. It's far more accessible than most of the north shore of Superior, I think. Man, I could almost smell the trees, woods, water and even the rocks - when they heat up in the sun, they kind of give off a scent too, I've found. Am I wrong? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Another Monday morning rescued from the pit of despair! Lol! (We're currently experiencing a "weather phenomenon" which we used to call "hail and freezing rain".) Thanks for sharing with us!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Jeff, I laughed at your weather remark - yeah, they're going a bit too dramatic with their descriptions nowadays. And you're not wrong about the forest's fragrance, it's quite amazing to experience, especially after a rain. I've got Lake Superior on my radar, if not this summer, hopefully next. Thanks as always. ~ Daryl

[@Enn_K]

Beautiful trail … definitely have to hike that next time we’re in Killarney. Thanks for the great video!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks! I enjoyed reminiscing about the trip - 20 years ago - sheesh!

[@CraigKoppel]

I did not know it was so big until you said it is sometimes referred to as the sixth Great Lake. Canada definitely has the most and best lakes in the world. I enjoyed the little tour. 👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Craig - if you ever get to northern Ontario, I think you'd like it. Cheers.

[@HikingWithKathleen]

What a beautiful hike Daryl. We enjoyed watching and listening to your narration. Interesting history. Love the rocky shoreline!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks! It's probably my favourite place on the planet. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment about the narration. Cheers!

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

Those are some beautiful views of the bay on the hike. I enjoyed your trek. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you, you are very kind.

[@ecttreker9816]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Great views 👍👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you very much.

[@NatureAndOther]

Very nice video ❤️ 👍 Beautiful rounds rocks and wonderful area with all the islands view

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you so much, Roni.

[@JimHayesHiking]

Nice shot of you crossing that bridge when you came to it,lol. I can understand why that is your happy place! Awesome video as usual my friend.

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Jim - it was a fun one to make. I appreciate you watching. Have a good week.

[@hikinganddrone]

Nice sharing my friend 👍👍👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you kindly. Regards from northern Ontario.

Beautiful place ! Loved the spectacular views. Great narration, too. This was a peaceful hike! ❤

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks so much for the feedback, it's greatly appreciated. 🙏👍

[@marielsdaylife6330]

What beautiful landscape

[@flynorthproductions]

It certainly is; thank you for watching!

[@ClubCrafteria]

AMazing place, beautiful views

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you very much!

[@JenniferLupine]

Great hiking and history Daryl! The rocky landscape and views are breathtaking! I can see why people love to kayak and canoe there, as well as hike. Wonderful views of the Bay, I bet the wind can get pretty strong through there. Looks exciting to kayak where there are so many rocks just below the surface. Someday we'll have to visit too! 👍👍☀☀- Jen

[@flynorthproductions]

I hope you do get to see Georgian Bay up close, Jen. It is truly my favorite place. Thanks for watching. ~ Daryl

[@JenniferLupine]

@@flynorthproductions When we retire we’re going to go on mini driving vacations- hopefully a few in Canada as well as in the US! I think it’s our kind of place too!

[@jcwandering-sharingourstory]

Wow, what a beautiful area!

[@flynorthproductions]

I agree, thank you very much.

[@simbajohn1882]

Daryl, great video thanks

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you John, I really appreciate it. 👍

[@simbajohn1882]

​@@flynorthproductionsyour welcome

[@IceBearHalfwayPoint]

That's a very pretty view! 😁

[@flynorthproductions]

It sure is, thanks for checking it out.

[@iCanoe_]

2:02 - That view is just spectacular! Looks like you had the trail to yourself too. I am heading to Bell Lake next weekend for a couple of nights. Weather permitting we will hike The Peak. Can't wait! Your past two videos have really got me chomping at the bit... :p

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks! I just love that shoreline. I hope you have great weather and I hope you'll make a video out of your climb. The last time I was up there I proposed to my wife, we're coming up on our 26th anniversary later this year. So that place has some good memories for me; I hope you get to do it. ~ Daryl

[@iCanoe_]

Thanks for the well wishes and also for sharing your proposal memory. Twenty six years you say? Wow. If the weather is good, I will film for sure. This will be my 6th time to The Peak. Never gets old. Cheers! T.

[@flynorthproductions]

Yep, 26. I have a slight chance of getting there this summer with one of my kids, I hope it works out. Best wishes for your trip. 👍

[@agesadventures]

After you crossed the bridge when you got to it, did you burn the bridge too, lol😁I love your openings😃 I know what it is about Georgian Bay...it's beautiful there😍😍 Great hike, Daryl😊

[@flynorthproductions]

Lol. I didn't burn it but I'm glad you get my attempts at humour. It really is a special place, thanks Age. Cheers. ~ Daryl

[@agesadventures]

@@flynorthproductions Attempts? You have great humour😁😁

[@eejay1313]

Awesome footage! The website you referenced is run by my aunt, she also runs the Shebahonaning Killarney History youtube channel with lots of interesting information about Killarney.

[@flynorthproductions]

Wow, I wish I knew about that site sooner! It's a wealth of great information. I've just started exploring it and I'm hoping I have time to find something I can use from it for my next video Killarney PP video which I want to finish in the next couple of days. I'm so glad you shared this with me - thank you!

[@eejay1313]

@@flynorthproductions Looking forward to more videos :) I'm curious if you have done the hike to the old tar vats from the killarney lighthouse? I'm curious if they are still there, it's been about 25 years since I was up that way :p

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi, no I haven't been there but I have it on my radar. You might be interested in my friend's video though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqOZaJKfprV1pNUsi=Hinbk_CBIxI-l49N It's in Killarney too but perhaps is a different location than the one you mentioned I think.

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545]

Love that trail Daryl, I actually proposed to a woman on it lol enjoyed, and you did a great job of capturing it :)

[@flynorthproductions]

That's cool! I proposed on Silver Peak. So far, it has worked out. 😀 Thanks Janson.

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545]

Awesome :)

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545]

and if you need info, let me know and i will give you a ring :)

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks - I might need some help with something in June. 🙏

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545]

Sounds good :)

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

This looked like such a fantastic hike. I loved the drone shots looking out over the water showing those little rocky islands. The shoreline at the end was really beautiful too, seeing the water splash up on those smooth rocks.

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi. Thanks, those rocky islands are everywhere along the shoreline and are probably the reason why I am so enamored with Georgian Bay. Thanks for watching.

Chikanashing is a great trail! Thanks for sharing your hike.

[@flynorthproductions]

It's officially my favourite, though I'd like to try Silver Peak once again just to be sure. Thanks!
