This is a walk encircling the serene Killyfole Lough (formerly Mill Lough) nestled in
charming countryside surroundings.
Nearest Towns: Roslea
Distance: 1.4 miles (2.4km) Circular
Points of Interest: Killyfole Lough and wildlife
From the main entrance off the B36 road
between Lisnaskea and Roslea, follow
purpose-built stone chip, boardwalk and
concrete paths in a circular route along the
partially wooded shoreline of willow, alder
and ash.
A local focal point for many years, the
Lough fell into disrepair and became a
wilderness, but an extensive 4-year
redevelopment project was undertaken by
Killyfole Development Association and
officially opened in August 2007.
In addition to the creation of the new
walkway system, there have also been
improvements in the wildlife habitat – creating
nesting sites to attract ducks, swans and
moorhens to the lake – the installation of
interpretative panels (displaying wildlife
information), as well as improved seating
and picnic tables along the walk, car
parking and disabled access provision to
the site – almost 0.6 mile (1km) of the trail
is suitable for wheelchairs.
