From the village of Loughmacrory, turn opposite the Post Office, going north along the Ballybrack Road for about 100m where newly built stone pillars on the right hand side mark the entrance to the Lough. Parking is available in a lay-by on the left, at the end of a short tarred laneway. Choose to walk either straight ahead or turn left. The charming tree lined gravel path follows the shoreline in either direction, eventually returning you to this starting point. There are plenty of picnic tables, fishing stands and shelters around the walk. Enjoy the flora and fauna of this beautiful, unspoilt freshwater environment and the ever changing views of this placid Lough from around its shoreline, surrounded by mixed woodland. You might just be lucky enough to glimpse the electric blue flash of a kingfisher, or see the swans and wild geese that visit, or the wild duck that hatch and rear their young at the north side of the Lough. Chances are, you’re sure to see the indigenous brown trout surface for food.
