Autumn Adventures on Georgian Bay

Sea kayaking along the peaceful shoreline of Georgian Bay is a great way to spend a September morning. The air was cool today, the water flat calm and the sky blue and clear. We've had so much warm weather this month that today feels a little more like fall with a nip in the air.

That's the wonderful thing about autumn in Killarney, you never know what the weather will be like.

Guests have arrived all bundled up for a fall chill, and found themselves luxuriating in the pool for their kayaking wet exit. Hikers have shed layers before heading up to the LaCloche trail.

Many visitors to Killarney arrive in the fall to relax, slow down and enjoy the solitude of Killarney Mountain Lodge.

Sitting by the water with a book is as energetic as many people want to be, and that's just fine. Muskoka chairs are calling ...

For the more adventurous, Labour Day weekend brought Killarney's Second Annual 'Round the Island' Race for sailboats of all shapes and sizes.

Local sailors, visiting yachties and some who were just out for an afternoon ride joined forces for Killarney's fundraising regatta.

Killarney's favourite 'pirate ship' the Thomas James looked resplendent as she sailed past the lighthouse.

The winds weren't quite up to sailors' standards, but everyone had fun and promised to return for next year's race.

There's something for everyone, in September on Georgian Bay. For many, it's the best time of the year.

And although we'd like more people to share this time with us in Killarney, part of each of us hopes that it stays our wonderful secret!
