Driving To Killarney We will meet you by appointment at a facility near us called Killarney Outfitters located at 1076 Hwy 637. Killarney is located 4.5 hours north of the Hwy 401 and 400 intersection in North Toronto (five hours with rest stop at the half way point 'Nobel'. The drive is via four lane highways until Parry Sound and the last half is on a two lane highway. Drive north on Hwy 400 past Barrie to the Hwy 401 extension which exits to Parry Sound and Sudbury. You actually must take an exit from Hwy 400 to get on to the Hwy 400 extension. If you go straight, the highway becomes Hwy 11. Confusing isn't it? Time for this leg of the trip is one hour. Parry Sound is roughly one hour from Barrie and represents the half way point. You can take the Bowes Street exit at Parry Sound to visit a Harvey's or MacDonald's or Tim Hortons situated just off the Hwy and purchase gas. From Parry Sound north the highway soon turns into two lanes and is called Hwy 69 but its the same road. Hwy 69 is very busy with lots of rock cuts. The traffic moves at speeds from 80 KM. per hour to 120 KM. per hour depending on your luck. The highway is heavily patrolled by the OPP, especially on weekends so take your time. Attempting to pass long lines of traffic can be dangerous (specially because of the rock cuts). Although Hwy 69 is a two lane highway, there are sections of three lanes where, for a few kilometres, you have your own passing lane but watch for the three lane ending warning signs located 300 metres before the road narrows again to two lanes. Drive north one hour to Hwy #637 which takes you to Killarney. Please call me at 705-287-1095 using your cell phone at the junction of Hwy 69 and Hwy 637. If no answer leave a message and then try my cell. Call me for the number. You are approximately 40 minutes from our meeting point at Killarney Outfitters, which is 63 kilometres from Hwy 69. The call is important because It takes some time for me to prepare your puppy. Killarney Outfitters is located on Hwy 637, about 63 km from Hwy 69. The road address is 1076. Killarney Outfitters is a 100 acre property on the north side of the Hwy identified with large buildings, signs and flags and a large fenced corral. You cannot miss it. Hwy 637 is a two lane hardened surface road through the forest and ends in Killarney. The road is rough in some places and bumps can surprise you. Moose, deer and bears habitually cross the road, especially at dawn and dusk. Some times the moose and bears take their own sweet time getting out of your way. Driving the road at high speed is not recommended as hitting a moose will ruin your day! Moose collisions at high speed are fatal for the moose and often for the occupants of the car too. Hwy 637 is also patrolled by the OPP using oncoming radar. The speed limit is 80 km per hour. Most drivers get away with driving at 90 to 100 km per hour. The Killarney Outfitters property is four km from the village of Killarney and the waterfront where you can find Mr. Perch, the local commercial fisherman's fish and chip stand open daily from May 24 to the end of September. The short version of driving directions are: Hwy 400 north to Barrie, Hwy 400 Extension west and north to Parry Sound. Continue one hour northward on the same road that becomes Hwy 69 to the Killarney tour off at Hwy 637. Follow Hwy 637 west for 63 km to #1076 (Killarney Outfitters). The total trip with a very short stop along the way can be 4.5 hours. There is no cell phone coverage along the Killarney Hwy from a point about six km from Hwy 69 to to approximately the Killarney Park which is located six km from the village. We also have a paved 3500' paved air strip located nearby and we can pick you up there should you wish to fly. Killarney UNICOM frequency is 122.8 MHz. Call us for a pick up as you arrive 705-287-1095. When coming to pickup your puppy, bring the following to make your return trip a pleasant one for you and your puppy.
We look forward to meeting you. Have a safe and pleasant trip.
