Killarney OSA Lake Solo Camping and Canoeing

http://myselfreliance.com/osa-lake-killarney-provincial-park/ 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.
