Site

Killarney became Ontario's first officially designated dark-sky park in 2018 and operates a research-grade observatory with a 16-inch telescope and a 5-inch refractor for astrophotography. The white quartzite La Cloche ridges and pink Georgian Bay granite make it as memorable by day as by night.

Drive from Toronto: ≈ 4.5 hours north via Highways 400 and 69.

Best time of year: June through September around the new moon. Park observatory programs run on scheduled evenings — book ahead.
