Gortin Glen Forest Park and Lakes
Throughout the Forest Park three specially selected waymarked trails give walkers the chance to enjoy the Park’s natural flora and fauna at its best.

Nearest Towns: Omagh, Gortin
Distance: Gortin Forest Park, 2.3 miles (3.5km) & Gortin Lakes 1 mile (1.6km) both circular
Points of Interest: Superb landscape views, conifer woodland, lakes

The longest is Ladies View Trail (2 mile/3.5 km), a strenuous but rewarding walk, excellent for ramblers. Starting from the finger post in the main car park, the route rises to its highest point at 350 metres with superb views of the surrounding countryside. A brass plate pointing out prominent landscape features is provided. The path then leads back to the car park through diverse conifer woodland. These walks are situated in a working forest environment and may be subject to diversion and closure from time to time. Up to date information is available on the Forest Service web site www.forestserviceni.gov.uk. Not far past the entrance to the Forest Park, heading to Gortin Village is the short off-road walk round Gortin Lakes, managed by Omagh District Council, offering great views of the Sperrins landscape. From Gortin Lakes car park, the recently up-graded circular path leads walkers around two of the kettle-hole lakes on the northern slope of Mullaghcam, which can be completed in either direction.
