Discover one of Ontario’s most stunning parks without the hassle of driving. With Parkbus, you can easily access Killbear Provincial Park’s rocky shorelines, sandy beaches, and iconic windswept pines. Whether you’re hiking scenic trails, swimming in Georgian Bay, or catching a sunset from the rugged cliffs, getting there has never been easier.
Killbear is a great day trip destination - compact, yet packed with interesting natural features, iconic windswept pine and over 30 km of Georgian Bay shoreline. Your Ontario Parks day use fee is included in ticket cost.
There are Four Official Trails:
1. Twin Points Trail - a 2.1km loop that will take you roughly an hour minutes to complete and takes you through different types forests and along the rocky shoreline. The trail is mostly flat, with lots of walking over red Canadian Shield. This is our favorite trail - The Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve has included the provincial park’s Twin Points trail as one of its Amazing Places.
2. Lookout Point Trail - a 3.5km moderate hike that will take you roughly 1.5 hours to complete and offering amazing views of Georgian Bay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Parkbus offer extra stops on demand?
Unfortunately we cannot do it for many reasons, including safety, liability and our agreements with the park and our partners. However, we are constantly reviewing our operations, and if you have any suggestions or ideas, including new stops for the future, do get in touch!
Is there cellphone reception in the park?
There is reception in many areas of the park, but not everywhere. Some operators, will only allow you access to emergency calls (911) in the area.
Can I bring pets on the bus?
Pets are not allowed on this route.
How much luggage can we bring on the bus? What about bikes?
We run 56 seater passenger buses on this route, and generally you can bring suitcases, backpacks, coolers, and other camping equipment. We allow up to 4 bikes per bus, on first-come, first-served basis where you have to call us in advance and reserve your spots.
Folding bikes, and folding/inflatable kayaks do not require pre-approval as long as they do not take more space than a large suitcase would - if you are not sure, give us a call! Regular canoes and kayaks are NOT allowed as they will not fit.
Fireworks, firewood, and firearms are NOT permitted on board or in the luggage compartment
Is there bathroom on board? Do you make a stop on the way?
There are bathrooms on board most buses. We also make a 15 min stop about half way into the journey to allow passengers a quick visit to fast food, washrooms, etc on the way.
