Wow! Thanks Yuri. Thanks for the high praise, much appreciated! Please check out all our other camping/canoeing videos, I'm sure you'll enjoy them as well.

Great video, In the process of planning a trip this fall with my son. It will be our 5th trip into Killarney, the first he was only about 6 years old and we were joined with a friend who shared the paddeling up Kirks Creek to Three Narrows for 4 days.. My sons favorite part of that trip was picking the M&Ms out of the gorp. By 8 years old he was handling the front of the canoe as we went from Lake Charletron to Great Mt. and back. A wonderful life long memorable trip. Another trip we were joined by my daughter taking the same trip to Great Mountain and back. Our last trip we were joined with a couple of Andrew's buddies, again going up to Three Narrows. The highlite of that trip was seen a few moose, one of which we were able to get to within a few meters of, a bit too close probably!! This year we are planning to again take the trip to Great mountain then return via Bear Lake , Van winkle, then working our way back to Murray Lake and back. Although it's been about 20 years, it's been at the top of my bucket list and at 73 I guess we had better get it done. I'm already enjoying the planning phase and can't wait to dip the paddle into the beautiful waters of Killarney Park!!! Hopefully we will also be able to share our experience with you and now I have to go for a long walk and start getting into shape for our adventure.

Hope you have a great trip. Fall is an excellent time to visit Killarney. I’ve probably paddled that park more than any other, but every time I return it’s always a new adventure!

[@sidrebello7582]

Great video guys. Got me pumped for my trip this summer!

[@cliffspicer6555]

I just noticed this is the same Brad from Explore the Backcountry or I think it is. I love Leah and Brad’s channel and apparently I am working through the videos backwards. LOL

[@TheOneCanoe]

Yes, you are correct. That is my son Brad from many years ago when we began creating canoe videos together. He sure has come a long way since then!

[@brenthubner9521]

great video, in fall of 2017 I camped on Nellie lake and at night I noticed a good amount of crayfish swimming near the shoreline, have they always been there or are they starting to come back as the lake continues to heal? thanks!

[@TheOneCanoe]

That is good to see! Perhaps life is slowly coming back to these once ‘dead’ lakes. Thanks for the update.

[@samspade5824]

There is a Killarney National Park in Co Kerry Ireland as well.

[@ravitatikonda7647]

Simply beautiful

[@TheOneCanoe]

Yes, it truly is a magnificent place to go paddling!

[@fly-n-m9445]

We fly to Killarney often, best and freshest fish & ships by far. 👌

[@TheOneCanoe]

Ah...nice. Perhaps you are referring to Herbert's Fish & Chips, down on the dock in the village of Killarney.

[@fly-n-m9445]

The one and only👍

[@hablefikirwolle1733]

I really wana go this place but I don't really have friends they enjoy this kind of nature.I really need a direction if there is tour guide or some groups I can join and see my Canada,Ontario.

[@timbraithwaite3648]

what is the wildlife like. ? do bears frequent the area?

[@TheOneCanoe]

+Tim Braithwaite Yes, there are many black bears that call Killarney home. I've been to Killarney at least a dozen times and have seen bears on at least 9 trips there. We've seen them along the highway on our ride into the park and often we encounter them along the shoreline as we paddle by in our canoe, but I've also seen them while at camp, usually foraging on the opposite shoreline (thankfully). We've also run across bear scat and paw prints on some of the portages.

[@aprilmiller1831]

Triangular Portage signs... exactly how many sides does a triangle have? LOL

[@TheOneCanoe]

Oops! My bad! ...and to think geometry was one of my best subjects in school!

[@aprilmiller1831]

@@TheOneCanoe Good times, good laughs! I guess I was paying close attention to the signage because it has become quite a bit more intrusive since I was last in a Canadian provincial park 25 years ago. I prefer something a bit more subtle...

[@sgsg5859]

Sturdy footwear????? Flip flops are just fine. That's all I have ever worn in Killarney

[@hvaclife676]

Until a rattlesnake bites you....

[@johntuttle4486]

They're your feet.

[@fly-n-m9445]

Can’t outrun a black bear in flip flops, lol

[@jonathanmcmenemy103]

Great video except for the animal cruelty parts.
