Canoeing, camping and primitive cooking on OSA Lake in Killarney Provincial Park, Ontario Canada.
On June 9, 2016, I did a short, one-night solo canoe trip to OSA Lake in Killarney Provincial Park, despite the possibility that black flies and mosquitoes may be at their peak. OSA Lake is very popular due to it’s beauty and easy access, so it’s almost impossible to reserve one it’s 5 campsites during peak camping season starting at the end of the month. This time, however, I had the entire lake to myself and did not see another person on OSA or Killarney Lakes during the two days I was out there.
The entry point for the trip to OSA is George Lake campground, which was relatively quiet when I launched my canoe. I saw a couple of other boats on George, but once I portaged into Freeland Lake, I didn’t see anyone until I returned the following day. This was a short, last minute trip on a Thursday, so I didn’t launch my canoe until 2:00 pm. The weather was perfect, about 18 degrees Celsius, but because it was afternoon, the wind was becoming quite strong out of the northwest.

Can't get enough of these clips wonderfull scenery.
Did not know the lakes where still feeling impact from acid rain.
In the Adirondacks lot of damage in the 1970's there was allways lot of talk about it then.
On my bucket list to get back there, it's a 1500 mile trek for me now.
Your vids keep me pacified for now thank you Shawn
Shawn you captured the feel of the campsite 7 The joy of being there. Brian 76
Thanks Brian. Nice spot
The good news, for the future, is that there were plenty of minnows and crayfish, the "canary in the coal mine" for lake health. I'm sure in a few decades the fish will return to these acidic lakes
Those night shots are amazing
What a beautiful place to camp !
Was nice to see you using the hobo stove! That shush kabob looks delicious! Such a beautiful spot! Great video!
nice video my friend, loved the photos at the end! so jealous of where you live! take care, Kev
Thanks, we are blessed
Awesome. I have yet to get to Killarney and will make a point of it this year.
It took me a long time to get there too. It's an addicting place.
Great little video there brother!
I would love to see a beaver that close! I read a book about a couple in the N.E. of US that helped beavers and they are much like dogs. I fell hard for beavers :)
Come visit OREGON, USA, the beaver state.

Great tip, I start to use this for catching mosquitos and for now do the work done. Check my video how easy it looks.
Great points about the rocks. Being in a wheelchair it is a real pain. So how do you like the Kelly Kettle?Good playing it safe from that hike at night. people die that way.
Thanks wheels. I really like the Kelly kettle. I haven't used a fuel stove in two years now. I can boil water in a few minutes no matter what the weather, and cook meals on the hobo stove easily.
nice thanks for sharin - how do u like the hobo - have one ordered for my kelly - txs
It is a shame about the acidity I hope the lakes recover, in my part of the world it is all about habitat disappearing all the wildlands are being torn up for parkways, subdivisions, retirement communities, and golf courses... So sad... Too many people moving in!
Yep, too many people and no end to the population boom in sight. I'm getting out there before it disappears.
amen to that!
Shawn, why are there no fish in those lakes? They look perfect for trout!!??
Good question.
Some of the lakes have been destroyed by acid rain in the past, and are very slowly making a recovery since the INCO stack was built years ago. Limestone, the natural alkaline buffer, is absent in the quartz/granite lakes, mostly found in the southern half of the park.
I take it you haven't watched my earlier videos from last spring? Top secret - fishing is excellent in the north! ruclips.net/video/kxqqK7fQoRY/видео.html

I know, they look like classic trout lakes!
So no fish in Killarney?

Killarney, the town, and surrounding area all along the highway is one of my favourite places to be. What a blessing to have this gem so close to home. And yes the fishing is awesome, in the right spots though!
+Shawn James (My Self Reliance) Not sure if I watched that one or not. Bookmarked it for later though!
+Ras agreed!

How long did it take you to get from George to the entrance of osa?
It's honestly 4 hours for camels so...
Thanks for using a lighter. I laugh at these guys using a bow drill in their back yard thinking their badass. Go out in tthe middle of nowhere alone, cold, wet, when you really need a fire. I've never had a lighter fail on me and the ferro rod is just a backup.
Agreed!
That's a lot of meat!
lol, some for breakfast. And, lot's of protein so I can gain muscle while I'm tripping to burn off the fat I gain at home drinking wine and eating cheese!
