Scenic Viewpoints

With its mix of sandy beaches, rugged shoreline, windswept pines and views of the 30,000 Islands, there are scenic views everywhere at Killbear. A number of highlights include:

Sunset Rocks/The Tree: Possibly the most photographed tree in Canada, this windswept pine is located near campsite 320 in Beaver Dams campground. It shows the effects of dealing with decades of west winds off of Georgian Bay.

Harold Point Viewing Rocks: There are beautiful views from these high rocks near Harold Point campground. Parking near the beach is limited so park at the amphitheatre and walk towards the beach.

Day Use Beach and Twin Points Shoreline: Looking out on the tranquil waters of Kilcoursie Bay you can see the full length of the Killbear peninsula. A 300 metre walk along the Twin Points trail brings you to a beautiful pocket beach between two rocky points.

Lookout Point: The scenic viewpoint at the halfway point on this trail looks eastwards over the islands and bays of the Big Sound. You can see the town of Parry Sound 10 km away.

Lighthouse Point: There are great views from the trail and dramatic geologic formations at the tip of the peninsula.
