Deerpark Forest Trail


Back to running/walking trails

Description:

This trail leaves the car park as a forest road. After 200 meters, the trail turns up the mountain and turns into a singletrack. The singletrack rises over a few hills until the Court tomb is reached which is situated on the right. After the tomb, the path makes a 90 degree turn to the left and follows a stone wall. It is at this point that the best views are obtained towards Leitrim, Knocknarea and Ox Mountains and Lough Colgagh.. From this point, the path turns back towards the carpark as forest road and becomes more gradual.

It is a very nice trail, especially during a nice summers evening when the sun is setting. The sun normally sets behind Knocknarea and results in some fantastic picture opportunities
