This trail offers easy walking on forest road across gently sloping hillside through a tranquil old wood, which has had forestry cover present since the 1800s, and riverside towpath along the River Barrow, with magnificent views of Clashganny Lock, Ballykeenan Lock and the River Barrow. A viewing point at the car park also provides an expansive view across Clashganny Lock to the surrounding countryside.
