This trail on forest road takes you through an area managed for biodiversity contiguous to the SAC along the edge of Ballygawley Lake. It has a wide range of conifer and broadleaf forest while the lake features a crannog. There are lovely views of Knocknarea, the Ox Mountain range and the landscape of Sligo and Leitrim.

Peter from Sligo

Hi, excellent walk and short climb on the board platforms to the top of the rock, superb views and fit for all ages and levels of fitness. The extended walk on the Sligo Way to include the rock are worth the extra effort.

Good map on top to explain to the visitors exactly what they are looking at on the landscape.
