Killarney Park Canoe Trip
Sept. 12-19, 2005
Itinerary:
Route Description
Mon. Sept 12th. - Travel to George Lake park office on Route 637 to register and pick up permits – it will cost $9/person/night, which will amount to $63.00 for the trip. If time permits during the afternoon, we can drive the 15 km to Killarney Village for a feed of fish & chips & beer and tour the historical area. We’ll stay overnight at the George Lake Campgrounds for our traditional steak supper and ‘wine sampling’ before embarking on our trip the next morning.
