Discover Killarney and Turtle Mountain
Nestled along the scenic shores of Killarney Lake, the Town of Killarney, and the encompassing Turtle Mountain area form a vibrant community boasting a population of approximately 3,500 residents.
Positioned strategically at the crossroads of Highways 3 and 18 in the Westman Region, Killarney is conveniently situated just an hour away from Brandon, the region’s largest city, and 300 kilometers from the provincial capital, Winnipeg.
The town’s location in the picturesque province of Manitoba, within the expansive Westman Region, reflects the heart of Canada’s prairies. Manitoba, known for its rich cultural tapestry and diverse landscapes, encapsulates the essence of Canadian hospitality. The Westman Region, where Killarney flourishes, adds to this allure with its unique blend of scenic beauty and warm community spirit. Together, they create an inviting haven where the tranquil charm of Killarney harmonizes with the broader tapestry of Manitoba’s welcoming embrace.
