Brutal Portage | 5-Day Canoe Trip in Killarney
Jan 6, 2026
There's no easing into this canoe trip! Our 5-day backcountry adventure in Killarney Provincial Park kicks-off with a back breaking portage up 'The Pig'. Known as one of the toughest portages around, The Pig is especially tough at the beginning of the trip, since we're carrying all our food for the next five days. The pain of the portage is softened by the knowledge that it places us deep within one of the most beautiful canoe tripping parks in the world.
