The Forest Friendly Walking Trail is on wide and smooth forest road and timber boardwalk. It winds gently through trees to a viewing platform close to the shore and on to the duck pond before returning to the car park.
The viewing platform looks out across Lough Derg and its islands and southwards towards Terryglass while to the right the main expanse of the lake can be seen.
An ideal trail for nature lovers; lake shore stretches, leafy woodlands and fascinating wildlife abound on this moderate 12.4 km loop in Portumna, County Galway.
Enjoy some of the most attractive landscape in Portumna Forest park while walking the Bonaveen Looped Trail.
The Woodland trail is slightly longer than the Forest Friendly trail and can be used by family walking and cycling groups. The surface is gravelled and also has sections of tarred forest road and wide timber boardwalk.
This trail is the longest loop through a variety of trees and open lakeshore. It covers the western side of the park and includes the wonderful Bonaveen Point section by the lake.
