Killarney Lake Beach — Attraction in Fredericton

I have a love hate relationship with killarney lake. I think it is very pretty all year long and that the trails are very well kept and good for all activities including, running, snow shoeing and even fishing off the walking bridge. However, i find that the water is dirty and there are lots of fish, this gives me the creeps. I have never been a fan of murky water. My favorite thing to do is fish but remember to bring pliers to help get the hook out. There are lots of catfish that will swallow your hook whole. There are also small mouth bass and trout. So overall a very nice and peaceful place to walk but not amazing...

Great little beach that's not too far from the city. And it's not as stoney as most other beaches (very sandy)! Theres also a trail that loops the lake; which direction you want to start depends if you want to use the bathroom at the rotary club first (go right) or use it last (go left). Surprisingly, not a lot of mosquitos, and I didn't notice any bites. I'd still bring some deet just cause the combination of water and forest. Dog friendly and also has charcoal barbecues/picnic benches. There are also lifeguards and first aid station. Note that the parking...

Guess the place is nice, but you gotta go there after May starts. I was there in the middle of April and the lake WAS STILL FROZEN COMPLETELY.

Alas don't try the highway to get there if you're cycling... It's a two lane driveway but with 80 km/h speed limit so you feel you're risking the neck there.

Overall, the safest bet is to get a designated driver to drive you there while you chip-in the beer, the freezer, and ride shotgun with a good playlist on the passenger...
