Killarney Lake Hike

The Killarney Lake trail is a fantastic day-hike option on Bowen Island that will expose you to the amazing scenery that can be found on this small island. The trail sets out from the parking area and enters into the forest before cutting through a small meadow and crossing over a creek on the way to the easternmost part of the trail. From there, the route heads to the northwest alongside Killarney Creek, with an amazing sightline stretching across the water. After working your way around the marshy northern tip of the lake, you will skirt around the edge of the lake and eventually arrive at a scenic viewing point with a small bench to sit and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. After you’ve experienced the beauty of the lake, follow the trail to the east for about 2133ft and turn left to cut back across the meadow and return to the trailhead.
