The Carrickreagh Jetty Walk is a blue waymarked linear route through a woodland landscape skirting the shoreline of Lower Lough Erne. The path meanders through the forest which is alive with green foliage and the undergrowth glows a vibrant green with moss, wood sorrel and ferns carpeting the ground beneath the trees. Added to these surroundings are areas where the forest opens to provide glimpses of Lower Lough Erne and its surroundings. Take a moment to look at the Crannog, Inish Lougher and Inish Fovar Islands, which are directly opposite the shoreline. These islands and the surrounding shore are an important area for a variety of wild fowl and water birds. You can proceed to the jetty and take the opportunity to enjoy the panoramic views of the lake.
