This walk combines the Leabeg Wetland and Mesolithic Site trails, however the Leabeg Wetland section should not be attempted during the Winter or early Spring due to flooding. The trail includes the southern shore of Lough Boora, the eastern bank of the canal, a forestry ride line and a broad peat access road leading to the Mesolithic Site. Depending on the time of year, look out for whooper swans, purple moor-grass, skylarks, meadow pipits, hares and foxes.
