Portumna Forest Park - Rinmaher Walking Trail
About
Perched by the northern shore of placid Lough Derg, Portumna Forest Park boasts a handful of pleasant walking routes. The Rinmaher Walking Trail is a lush 12.4 km loop and takes 2 hours to complete.
Moderate in grade, the loop traverses single track and ascends 10m overall. It begins along a two-way section of trail and covers much of this tranquil park. Boasting beautiful woodlands of Ash, Beech and Silver Birch, the loop also treats walkers to great views along the lake shore, near Rinmaher Point, southwards to Terryglass and east to Portumna Bridge.
Just some of the wildlife you may glimpse along this loop include majestic fallow deer, red squirrel, fox and badger.
The market town of Portumna is home to plenty of welcoming pubs, cafés and restaurants; perfect for that post-walk treat.
